  • 4 oz Philly 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oen to 225F. Line a mini muffin pan with mini cups or mini muffin liners.
  2. Melt 1 oz chocolate in the microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring in between until chocolate has melted, about 1 1/2 minutes total.
