Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and I'm sharing with you an easy to make no bake chocolate almond cheesecake mousse perfect for the holiday. Sounds delicious?! It's smooth, chocolatey and just the right balance between cheesecake and mousse!
These desserts are pretty to serve in any type of glassware you have on hand. I layer them with a little bit of homemade whipped cream, some toasted sliced almonds and a dusting of cocoa powder. It really is that easy!
If you are not a fan of almonds you could exchange the chocolate almond spread for a chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter or even cookie butter! So many options and all equally delicious.
I find that cheesecake can be an overly sweet dessert, but this cheesecake filling is a nice balance between the cream cheese and chocolate spread. Its light and fluffy texture is quite satisfying, making it the perfect sweet ending to your Valentine's dinner.
