Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 6 oz Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until it’s smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until incorporated and smooth.
Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and beat until the mixture is silky and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand or stand mixer on high speed.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the air from the whipped cream.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe small mounds (about the size of a golf ball) onto a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the mounds for at least 1 hour or until firm.
While the chocolate whispers chill, prepare the raspberry sauce by combining raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and set the smooth raspberry sauce aside to cool completely.
To serve, drizzle raspberry sauce on serving plates and place 2-3 chocolate cream cheese whispers on top. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
