I found these mini chocolate crusts on the clearance table for 64 cents and I couldn't resist. I bought two packages and ended up making this recipe twice with them. I would have liked to have tried another recipe but it was requested that I make this one twice so that's what I did.
This was a nice light filling. The cream cheese provides some texture but it's tanginess doesn't stand out. I'm sure it helps balance the sweetness of the sugar even though it doesn't scream at you. This is really just a delicious chocolate mousse filling.
The funny thing is that I made these because I bought the crusts on clearance and then my son only ate the filling. It figures.
Question of the Day: When was the last time someone requested that you make a certain recipe? What was it?
wow that looks amazing! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good :)
ReplyDeleteLast thing I can remember anyone asking me to make was chicken and dumplings.
I love those little single serving crusts.
ReplyDeleteMy mother keeps asking me to make my picadillo. I made it over a year ago and she keeps clamoring for more!
It's happened twice in the past week, from my 11yo girl! Choc. chip cookies for the only 9 in her class that weren't in band & were stuck at school instead of performing out of town. And choc. chip cookies, again!, for tomorrow at school. She wanted just enough for her, but of course she's taking a couple dozen to share at lunchtime :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at your little man only eating the filling!
ReplyDeleteEach week when I'm planning the menu and writing the shopping list I ask the kids if they want me to cook anything particular. Every week without fail they ask for "Mum's spaghetti" - I don't comply every time but we probably have it every three weeks or so.
Wow, those look great!
ReplyDeleteMy family does request certain dishes, like chicken fried chicken. But, honestly, my kids are more likely to make negative requests, such as "Don't put any onions in it!"
I would have bought the crusts too!
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I was requested to make is a slow cooker chicken meal, just made it Monday for a friend I was visiting.
