Total Time:1 hour
Yield:12 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
2 cups of fresh strawberries, halved
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
Instructions
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and vanilla extract until combined, then fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Chill the mousse for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with mini paper liners. In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of the liners. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar, then add the almond extract. Scoop the mixture onto the crusts and bake for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until fluffy. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then mix until combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Pipe the chilled chocolate mousse into small cups or glasses. Top the cheesecake bites with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry. Decorate the heart-shaped cookies with icing, sprinkles, or chocolate ganache for an added touch.
