Individual Chocolate Mousse Dessert  (Source for the mousse: Mrs. Fields I Love Chocolate Cookbook) 

Ingredients:

Crust - 

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons melted butter

Cream cheese layer -

4 ounces cream cheese

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Mousse- (this is 1/2 of recipe)

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

Whipped cream

Chopped chocolate

Directions:

Crust -

Mix the graham crackers, sugar, and butter until well blended. Divide into 7 to 8 small glasses (should be about 6 to 8 ounces in size). Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the glass (I used a whisk that had a large handle to press my crust into the glasses). Set a side.

Cream cheese layer -

In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add butter and vanilla and continue to beat until well blended.  Add the confectioners' sugar and mix well. To this add the cream a little at a time and beat until smooth. Pour this over the graham cracker crust; divided evenly. Set your dessert in the fridge while you make you mousse.

Chocolate mousse -

In a small sauce pan, bring 1/4 cup of the cream to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and set aside for about 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. In a large bowl whip the remaining 3/4 cup of cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Spoon the mousse of the cream cheese layer and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with whipped cream, chopped chocolate, or other favorite toppings.
