This showstopper dessert is an excellent option for those who don’t have a dairy oven, yet still want to present something different and special in honor of Shavuos.

 

Ingredients

Crumb Layer

  • 1/2 package honey graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies, crushed

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup / 50 grams) butter

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 bar Elite Milk Chocolate or other dairy chocolate, melted

  • 2 8-oz (225-gram) packages of unwhipped cream cheese

Topping

  • 2 bars two-toned dairy chocolate, grated

  • 1/2 lb (250 grams) roasted almonds, chopped (or use peanut brittle)

Directions

For Crumb Layer

1.

Combine thoroughly and set aside.

For Cheese Mixture

1.

Beat the whip and set aside.

2.

Beat the cheese with eggs. Add the milk and sugar.

3.

Fold in the beaten whip and mix gently until fully incorporated.

4.

Divide the cheese mixture in half. One half will remain white; to the other half, add the melted chocolate.

For the Topping

1.

Gently mix the grated chocolate with the nuts.

Assemble the Trifles

1.

Use parfait glasses and create layers in the following order: crumbs, dark cheese, topping, crumbs, light cheese, topping. Depending on the size of your cup, you may want to double the layers. You can also skip the topping in the middle and reserve it for the final layer.

2.

Garnish with chocolate balls, chocolate chips, or chocolate curls. Enjoy!

I would make each component separately and store in airtight containers and then assemble closer to the meal.

It should be fine for Shavuos if you make on Friday. And a trifle bowl will be lovely.
