Love Bird Desserts

Ever since St. Valentine risked his life to protect the gift of love around 270 A.D., we have been celebrating a day out of our busy year to celebrate love!

So I decided to prepare some simple steps to making a strawberry cheesecake mousse dessert that looked fancy and complex, but was easy and simple to make. It only took a few ingredients and a few steps. You too can create something delectable and special for your loved one.

Ingredient List:

Package of No-Bake Cheesecake Mix

Package of White Cake Mix

Pre-made Whip Cream (or 1 Container of Heavy Whipping Cream)

Fresh or Frozen Strawberry

Raspberry or Strawberry Jam

So to start off, you'll need to bake the white cake (either from cake mix or reference the "Cookie N Cream" white cake recipe):

I simply carved circles using a small cup as reference out of the baked cake. Then generously apply the jam over the cake.

I then wrapped a waxed ribbon around the cake. Making sure it was a snug fit before filling the cheesecake mousse.

You can also use a clear glass or plastic cup.

I then pipped the no-bake cheesecake into the molds. You can also use a spoon and making sure to press into the cup or mold.

Finally, top it with the whipped cream & strawberry. Since I used a frozen strawberry, I also dipped the strawberry in the raspberry jam. It came out gorgeous with a hint of tanginess.

Make sure to let it set in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving it to your special someone. It was light, fluffy, and a special treat!

I made these for some sweet girlfriends and added the special touches just to show that they were 'made with love'. Thank you St. Valentine for a reason to celebrate!
