Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup whipped cream
Crust & Topping
- 1 pre-made cookie crust (about 9 inches)
- Chocolate shavings, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing carefully to keep the mixture light and airy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the prepared chocolate filling into the pre-made cookie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to fill the crust completely, ensuring a smooth and level surface.
- Chill the dessert: Place the assembled dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until the filling is firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the chilled dessert with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish. Serve cold and enjoy the rich, creamy texture balanced by the crisp cookie crust.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- For best results, use freshly whipped cream or whipped cream from a chilled canister.
- The cookie crust can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Keep the dessert refrigerated until just before serving to maintain its firmness and freshness.
- Chocolate shavings can be substituted with cocoa powder dusting or chocolate chips if preferred.
