SPICED CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE JARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: Add the gingersnaps, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process for 1 minute, or until the crumbs are moistened. Set aside.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until softened, 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream, molasses, and vanilla, and mix until smooth and fully combined, 30 seconds.
• Sift in one-third of the cocoa powder and powdered sugar at a time, mixing between each addition until incorporated, 3 minutes total.
• Add the cinnamon, apple pie spice, nutmeg, and salt, and whip until smooth, 30 seconds.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped Godiva® Masterpieces Dark Chocolate Ganache Hearts.
• Assemble the jars: Scoop 2½-3 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each jar, pressing down to compact. Top with about 1 inch of filling. Repeat to make another layer of crust and filling.
• Freeze the jars for 45-60 minutes, or until the filling and crust are set.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Use an electric hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the jars from the freezer and top with a dollop of whipped cream, 2 whole Godiva® Masterpieces Dark Chocolate Ganache Hearts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• Serve immediately or keep the jars in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes, until ready to serve.
