Happy Birthday to meeeeee!! Yep, today is my birthday! It’s my 30th birthday in fact, the big 3-0!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake for Two - Creamy strawberry cheesecaked with an oreo crust, topped with a rich chocolate ganache. Made especially for two, perfect for a Valentine's Day Dessert!You could be forgiven for thinking I’m a bit Valentine’s obsessed, after all this is my second Valentine’s Day themed recipe in a row!

And this is one is a real winner…
