Place the truffles into a small microwave-safe container and microwave for 40 seconds. The truffles will not be fully melted; stir until smooth and shiny.

Using a paring knife or a stencil, lightly score a heart shape on top of the cheesecake.

Using the spoon or pastry spatula, “paint” the heart shape with the melted truffles (reserving 2 tablespoons for garnishing).While the chocolate is still warm, adhere the caramel balls onto the cheesecake bordering the chocolate. If the chocolate begins to cool, dip the caramel balls in the remaining melted chocolate and attach.

Let the “jeweled” cheesecake cool and serve.
