No Bake Chestnut Cheesecakes with Chocolate & Cherries - Bakemas Day 22

How it’s day 22 I have no idea, I’ve only just started sorting out presents so everything is going to be a mad rush for the next two days. Every year I say I’m going to be on top of things and honestly I do try I’m just terrible at it, and considering I decided to do bakemas that just threw a lot of work into the mix. I’m already starting to get a little down about Christmas nearly being over though, and the fact that I can't spend hours wrapping these presents because I do love a good ol' bit of wrapping; can we do Christmas the week after? I feel like this dessert oozes “I’ve got my life together” which it so far from the truth but I’m sure we all feel that way. Side note: not sure I want to use the word oozes on here again, although I feel like Nigella Lawson uses that word quite a lot, maybe I’m imagining things. This is one of those recipe I thought up and even though I can’t eat it decided to make it anyway because I’m over the “BOO I can’t eat it” stage in the dairy grieving process and cheesecake makes me happy even if I can only stare at it... I did eat that fork full though, and maybe a couple more and I would devour the whole thing if I could because it’s seriously yummy! This cheesecake started out as a test, I was testing out the recipe in ramekins for what originally was supposed to be a big cheesecake to make sure it would set okay but they look so good mini style I just had to photograph them like this. You can make this either way though, there’s instructions under the recipe for how to make a 7-8 inch, but this is perfect if there’s just two of you so you won’t have to eat cheesecake all week, I know, such a chore!
