Chocolate Cheesecake Bumblebees ⬇️ FULL RECIPE BELOW ⬇️ Black and yellow stripes, constant buzzing, and equipped with a sting, bees are an absolutely essential part of our ecosystem.

You'll Need:

For the chocolate cake:

- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 eggs
- 1½ cups flour

For the cheesecake:

- 10 oz cream cheese
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 5 sheets of gelatin, soaked (or 5 tsp unflavored gelatin powder)
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ground saffron to taste
- 5 drops yellow food coloring

For the coating:

- 2 cups orange juice
- 3 tbsp honey
- 6 sheets of gelatin, soaked (or 6 tsp unflavored gelatin powder)

For the decoration:

- melted chocolate
- white chocolate drops

Here's How:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper. Add the melted semi-sweet chocolate and vegetable oil to a bowl and whisk together well. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and milk, and mix everything together, then add the eggs one by one as well as the flour and vanilla extract. Mix everything into a smooth batter. Spread the batter on the baking tray and smooth it down evenly. Bake the cake for about 10-12 minutes and let it cool.

2. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and add the honey, saffron, and soaked gelatin. Mix everything together and gently fold the yellow mixture into the cream cheese. Fill a silicone mold with the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

3. Carefully push the cheesecake ovals out of the silicone mold and place them on the chocolate cake. Use a knife to cut out the chocolate base using the cheesecake ovals as a template.

4. Heat the orange juice with the honey and add the soaked gelatin to make the coating. Let the coating cool down to about 70°F, then pour it over the cheesecake ovals and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This works best if you place the bumblebee cakes on a cooling rack so you can easily pour the coating over them.

5. Decorate the cooled bumblebee cakes with melted chocolate to create stripes and eyes and push white chocolate drops into the hardened cream for wings. Now the mini cakes actually look like little bumblebees – buzz buzz!

Don't these little bees look cute as a button? They're absolutely perfect for any family get-together or just for when you want to treat your friends to something adorbs and yummy. And because they're light and airy, they'll be all the buzz on a hot summer's day. Get the recipe for the Apricot Bee Cake featured in the bonus video: https://youtu.be/Sf38DitcvFk
