About This Recipe

Sticking with my philosophy of eating smaller portions, I love to make desserts in shot glasses like these Maple Pecan Cheesecake Shooters!

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 24 pecan halves
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup whipping cream

• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Combine maple and pecans in a medium bowl.
2. With an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in yogurt and set aside.
3. With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until combined.
4. Put the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or large ziplock bag with the end cut off.
