No Bake Chocolate Stout Cheesecake Cups

No Bake Chocolate Stout Cheesecake Cups are super easy and simple with only about ten minutes prep. Perfect make ahead dessert!

I think it’s because of how hard this year has been.

Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe it’s just time. We are all returning to the classics. Going back to what’s familiar and comforting. We’re drinking pilsners, pulling out our thrashed jeans and oversized sweaters, we’re eating fried chicken off plaid plates.

We’re all simultaneously ready for this year to end, and not at all ready for the next one to begin. It’s a feeling of hurry up and leave but please don’t go.

We don’t have control over the inauguration, Game of Thrones ending, or the threat that someone decided to make an Emojis movie😳. We can control us. You and me. I can make some food, feed some people and drink some beer.

Good beer, for a good year. Let’s all hope that 2017 defies the odds, breaks the trend, shocks us all with good. Raise a glass, filled with something good, toast it up, and drink it down. Here’s to 2017.

I used Grandfather Raven from Black Raven for this recipe. It’s rich and delicious with a gorgeous smell and an even better taste. Notes of cocoa and coffee, it’s 9.5% ABV but smooth and dangerously drinkable. I highly recommend it.
