No Bake Cocoffee Cheesecake Shots

Its been a while I could post anything on my blog. The past 4-5 months had been crazy for Us (me, my husband) and for both of our families. It surely gave us a taste of what life is all about and who are the real loved ones around us. We are definitely blessed with the best families on the earth and we know that the Almighty is looking after us.

But now we are back on out feet and the good news is we bought a new house yayyyy… and now I have a big kitchen to get all my cooking done.. what more would a girl want than that who is a food blogger?

Time flew off and we had our 2nd Valentines as a married couple.  I am trying to keep a pattern of trying a new dish which I never have cooked in my life and which is also my BH’s (Better Half’s) favorite one. So this time I tried Paneer Tikka Sizzlers and No baking Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake Shots. I first thought of trying Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake Shots but my BH is not a big fan of Strawberries.

Here is a glimpse of the Sizzlers:

I also made spiced butter milk and Tomato mozzarella salad with the Paneer Tikka Sizzlers. As if this wasn’t enough that I made something for our sweet tooth too. 🙂

Believe me the Cocoffee Cheesecake Shot was so much decadent and yummylicious that I couldn’t resist and try other batch of Orange Ginger Flavor.. And more over, it is so simple just mix couple of ingredients and give any kind of flavor you want. Not forgetting that Cheesecakes are always rich in calories I thought of preparing it in shot glasses reducing the serving size and so reducing the calories.

Cocoffee Cheesecake Shots

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese at room temperature
• 2 tbsp mascarpone cheese
• 2 tbsp of strong coffee (prepared coffee in liquid form)
• 2 tbsp coco powder
• 6 tsp sugar
• 8 tsp Any kind of coco biscuits, crushed ( I used Bourbon without the cream inside it)

Note this makes approximately 8 servings if served in shot glasses so the crushed biscuits are 1 tsp per serving you can change it as per your taste.

Steps:

• In a bowl add the room temperature cream cheese and whip for 10-12 mins to make it light and fluffy.
• To the fluffed cream cheese add mascarpone cheese and whip until its all mixed together.
• Then add sugar, coffee and coco powder and whip more to mix properly.
• In shot glasses add 1 tsp of crushed biscuits then add the above mixture.

Garnish with Chocolate accents or strawberry or Cherry as per your taste.

Tips:

• To give a different look work a little with the coco, coffee quantities and layer it as it looks in the picture.
• You can keep the base same and instead of coco, coffee you can use any fruit based compote and layer it with the cream cheese and mascarpone cheese mixture.
