Here are the recipes Nicole Watts shared at the Valentine's Activity
Cream Cheese filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 pint whipping cream
Mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream until peaks form.
Fold the whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture.
*Use this as the base for a cream pie, top with fruit or pie filling
*Use as the ‘sauce’ on a fruit pizza
Chocolate Mousse
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
4 oz dark chocolate
Note: I like using Dove promises. 4 little squares equals about 1 oz. For this recipe you can use 16 Dove promises (sold in bags).
Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Melt chocolate in microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring after each time.
Mix chocolate and whipping cream together vigorously with a spatula until thoroughly combined and uniform in color.
Ideas for fillings:
*Put into chocolate cups and top with a raspberry and chocolate shavings
*Use in place of frosting on top of cupcakes or for a layer cake
*Make cookie cups using your favorite cookie dough. Bake cookies in a mini muffin tin according to directions. With a small spoon make a little well in the center of the cookie, let cool. Fill with either filling flavor.
Possible combinations: sugar cookies with chocolate mousse; chocolate cookies with cream cheese filling, chocolate chip cookies with chocolate mousse, etc.
*Make a trifle with either or both fillings. The possibilities are endless. Use cookies or cake chunks with a layer of mousse or cream cheese and a layer of fruit. Top with cool whip.
