The only baking we will be doing today will be for the crust and it will only bake for 5 mins so lets get started!
Ingredients
The Crust
- 1 1/4 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 5 Tbsp Melted Butter
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- Bonne Maman Lemon Curd
The Mousse
- 6oz Room Temp Cream Cheese
- 1 1/4 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake papers in a cupcake tin.
- In a bowl Combine the graham cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a bowl. The mixture will be a little wet and crumbly. Place about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the crumbs into each cupcake cup and press it down and tp the sides until its firm and smooth on the cupcake cup.
- Bake the crumbs for 5 mins. Take out of the oven and allow to cool.
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment place the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until it starts to mix. When mixture is pretty combined bump the speed up to High and it only takes a couple mins and the mixture will be fluffy and creamy.
- Add some of the Bonne Maman in the center of each crust before piping your mousse.
- With a piping bag pipe onto the crust on the cupcake tin. Allow to set between 1-2hrs.
TIPS
- The cream cheese should only be allowed to room temp for about 30 mins. It should be soft but still have a cool temperature. It is important to allow to soften if not it will not mix well and you will have an unpleasant lumpy mixture.
- If you have extra batter which you may. You can use serve with fresh fruit on a platter for your guest to dip or out it on your pancakes the next morning.
- It takes about 1-2 minutes for the mixture to get to its desired consistency. If you over beat it can get a buttery like texture. It needs to be smooth and have medium peaks where its fluffy but you’re able to pipe with the mixture.
- Bonne Maman has a wide variety of Fruit Preserve flavors so use your favorite!
