Ohh, what a day! It has been an intense day here at DAMY Health. Hundreds of emails, 7 recipes, hundreds of photos, lots of editing, a workout and so much more… It’s been so intense that we decided we’re going to do “A Day in the Life at DAMY” Post soon. We’re going to be taking pictures all throughout one of our days here to show you the crazy fun that is our everyday life!
I wasn’t going to post these recipes today but I’m just so excited I have to. I also want to give you lots of time to prepare your healthy dessert options for Valentine’s Day. Today I have two separate recipes for you that are made in one pan – Double Chocolate and New York Style Two Bite Skinny Cheesecakes. The Double Chocolate Skinny Two Bite Cheesecake has a dark chocolate fudge bottom with a light chocolate cheesecake top. The New York Style Skinny Two Bite Cheesecake has a basic light crust with a light tangy cheesecake top! Both of these recipes taste fantastic with the raspberry drizzle.
These are amazing! Unreal, addictive, and the perfect indulgence for a treat. The great news is they are both so easy. Below I included some serving options and some great topping ideas including my Skinny Fresh Raspberry Drizzle.
Feel free to have some fun with these recipes and try the different toppings, different serving ideas and maybe exchange the topping and crusts to mix it up. Enjoy!!!
These recipes are no-bake, gluten free, raw crust, and a skinny dessert.

DAMY Members – 3 Cheesecake Bites is a treat.
Plating and Serving Options (Bamboo Skewers)
If you grease your muffin tin these are simple to remove using the knife-to-the-side-popping-out-method. But, a really easy and pretty way to serve these is using bamboo skewers. I like using these with 1 fresh raspberry per cheesecake (see pictures below). This is a really cute way to serve these cheesecakes for Valentine’s Day (or any other holiday for that matter). People love this ‘hand’s free’ ‘no-mess’ option.
Extra Healthy Topping Options
- Raspberry Drizzle (see directions below)
- Chocolate shavings
- Chocolate Chips
- Strawberry Drizzle
- Raspberries
How to Make a Healthy Raspberry Drizzle
This is so simple and so crowd pleasing! This makes your dish look fancy, gives it that pop of colour and also gives it that tangy-sweet raspberry flavour. It is a crowd-pleaser and also a beautiful addition for Valentine’s Day!
Directions – Add 1 small, fresh package of raspberries and 2 packets of stevia (or 1 tbsp of agave or honey) to your food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Drizzle over-top of your desserts or serve along-side as a dipping sauce.
what is the weight of 1.5 packets of stevia? I don’t know if the packet sizes are different here in England 🙂 thank you!
one packet is roughly one gram. If you are using liquid start with a few drops, taste it and go from there. Stevia tends to vary!
what do you soak the dates in??
Just room temperature water.
Can you tell me how long these can be stored in the freezer?
Is there anything we can substitute for the pitted dates in the crust??
