Description

These indulgent cheesecake cups are the perfect date night dessert for two.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Amaretti Biscuits
  • 100g (3.5 oz) Plain Chocolate (preferably Cadbury’s Bournville)
  • 120g (4 oz) Mascarpone Cheese (I’m not fussy in England, but in the USA I use Galbani)
  • 60g (2 oz) Full Fat Cream Cheese, room temperature 
  • Fresh, chopped Summer fruits 

Instructions

  1. Break the biscuits up into a rough rubble and divide between the bottom of the two glasses. I do this in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Cut the chocolate into very small chunks with a sharp knife and melt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the water does not boil or touch the bottom of the glass bowl. The steam from the water will melt the chocolate. When smooth, set aside to cool to room temperature.
  3. Beat together the room temperature melted chocolate, mascarpone and room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Spoon evenly into the glasses and chill in the fridge for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Top off with chopped fruit and serve.

Notes

Different cup sizes vary which will change the amount of fruit you need to to them off.
