Pie, for me that is a tradition that I would LOVE to break. NO matter how hard I try, I cannot get a pie to turn out. My beautiful crust, forget about it, Fluted edge, NO way. Sure, they may taste great, but they look horrid.

This year on my holiday table you will find this quick and easy no-bake chocolate cheesecake mousse with pomegranates; they definitely say holiday.

Description

This no-bake chocolate cheesecake mousse is rich and creamy, topped with pomegranate seeds for a festive holiday touch.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar, divided
1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped and melted
Pomegranate arils for topping

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until smooth and no streaks remain.
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Top with pomegranate arils just before serving for a festive touch.

Notes

This mousse can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a twist, try using white chocolate instead of dark chocolate. Serve chilled for the best texture.
