Happy Halloween!
I found a wonderful recipe from Glorious Treats, that pays homage to the the candy corn. I don't really care much for the actual candy but I do love the colors~ so Halloween-ish! Its a very easy recipe and its soooo delish. Definitely doing this one next year;)
Cheesecake Mousse
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 small container (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
- orange and yellow food color
- candy corn (for garnish)
Preparation:
Beat cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer until fully smooth.
Slowly add powdered sugar, then milk (or cream).
Add vanilla. Continue mixing.
Beat about 1 minute on medium to medium-high speed.
Fold cool whip into cream cheese mixture, and stir until fully combined.
Scoop about 1/3 of the Cheesecake Mousse into a bowl, and color orange.
Color another third of the mixture yellow.
Leave the remaining third white.
One color at a time (starting with yellow), scoop mixture into a piping bag or large ziplock bag, and squeeze a layer of the Cheesecake Mousse into small dessert dishes of your choice.
Repeat with orange and then white Mousse.
Refrigerate 30 minutes (or up to 1 day) before serving.
Garnish with candy corn if desired. (I used Jack o' lantern peeps)
Recipe yields 4 moderate servings or 6-8 mini servings.
