Description
A luxurious dessert combining a rich chocolate cake with a light cream cheese mousse and crunchy toffee for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy Cream, ice-cold
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups Crushed Toffee Bars
- 1 Chocolate Cake (Baked and Cooled)
- Chocolate Shavings & Extra Toffee Bits for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mousse Foundation: In a large mixing bowl, place your fully softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Achieve the Perfect Stiff Peaks: In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Start mixer on low, then increase to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Add one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese base and stir to lighten. Add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold in the crushed toffee bars.
- Assemble the Masterpiece: Slice cooled chocolate cake into two layers. Spread half of the mousse over the bottom layer, add the second layer, and spread remaining mousse on top.
- Garnish and Set: Sprinkle top with chocolate shavings and toffee bits. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
