Ingredients

Flavor Ingredients

½ cup Chocolate Wafer Crumbs e.g. Oreo Cookie crumbs
4.4 oz Cream Cheese
1 cup Heavy Cream
½ cup Sugar
14 oz Chocolate Loaf Cake you can also make your own
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese Frosting

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the heavy cream slowly down the side of the bowl.
Scrape the bowl.
Mix on medium high until stiff and fluffy. Add chocolate wafer crumbs and mix lightly with the mixer or use a spatula. Do not over mix. Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the mini desserts.

Assembly

You don't need to cut circular shapes to fit inside the glass. square shapes fit better because it fills the diameter nice and snug. You can use cake pieces too, just make sure that you are using enough cake to separate each layer to define a cream layer and cake layer.
Start by placing cake in the bottom of a cup. Top with whipped cream cheese frosting.
Repeat these step 3 and top your mini dessert with more cream cheese frosting.
Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Notes

Top tip

Before making your whipped cream cheese frosting, place your mixing bowl and attachment in the freezer. Leave it in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Make cleanup easy by using 5 oz recyclable plastic dessert cups.

Square chocolate cake pieces work better because they hug the sides of the glass creating a distinct layer, separated from the cream cheese frosting.
