So here is the decadent dessert for the Game of Thrones season finale. You will probably laugh with the way I came up for this dessert
- Cliff bar – since there is always a cliff hanger
- White cheesecake – for the white walkers
- Huckleberry mousse – just for decadence
- Whipped Cream and the chocolate shard to make it look like a ship for Tyrion’s escape
I will say this – it was devoured and totally enjoyed by all.
Ingredients
Makes 8, Total time 30 minutes
Biscuit Layer
- 1 Cliff Bar (Or any other granola bar that you like)
- 2 tablespoons Caramel flavored vodka (optional)
White chocolate Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 5 oz white chocolate
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Huckleberry Mousse
- 6 tablespoons Huckleberry jam
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Method
Biscuit Layer
Crush the cliff bar and stir in vodka to coat. Divide equally amount dessert cups. Press gently to get it all even
Cheesecake Layer
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds, stir and then go for 5 seconds stirring after each microwave cycle. Once the chocolate has melted let it cool completely. (If it is no cool it will seize when mixed with the cream cheese)
Using the paddle attachment of your mixer cream the cream cheese like you would butter. Set it aside.
Whip the heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and continue whipping till you get soft peaks.
Fold the cream cheese and (cooled) white chocolate together. Then fold in the cream. If by some chance the white chocolate seizes up do not worry. Use the paddle attachment again and beat for a few minutes then add the whipped cream and fold. While you will get chunks all will be forgiven when your guests eat the dessert.
Divide this equally between all the dessert cups. Smooth the top using a back of a spoon that has been dipped in warm water.
Huckleberry Layer
Make sure the Huckleberry jam is more on the softer/liquid side (Not jello consistency). Stir it well to break it up completely.
(If you are using a jam that is very firm you will have to add a little water to it and heat it to get it to a more liquid state. Then you will have to let it cool before you mix it with the cream.)
Whip the heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and continue whipping till you get soft peaks. Fold 3/4 of this into the jam and spread it on top of the cheesecake layer.
Decorate with more whipped cream and a chocolate shard.
