Good morning my friends! It's Monday and I hope you're fresh off a fun and relaxing weekend, and getting a great start to the new week. Here in my 'hood it's the last week of school, so the kiddos are really excited to get going on their summer break. And, to be honest, mom is pretty excited too, to have the afternoons off from sorting through papers and nagging about homework.
Today's recipe is a truly decadent one, with amazing rich, deep flavors of coffee and chocolate, contrasted by tart, seasonal raspberries. I could not stop digging my spoon down into this creamy no-bake treat!
I think you are going to love this recipe because it's maximum impact with minimal effort. Honestly, I spent more time fussing over the pretty layers than I did actually making the dessert itself! The no-bake cheesecake mousse comes together in about 5 minutes flat, and the raspberry and chocolate cookie crumb layers are literally as simple as putting one ingredient in the food processor and turning it on.
You get the "Mudslide" by using a little bit of BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer in the mousse. It brings such a great sweet, creamy flavor. I really like BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers because they are made with real cream. It's such a great way to bump up the flavor in your recipes, without adding a bunch of questionable non-dairy weirdness. There's so much you can do with them- if you need some inspiration, check out their awesome recipe page!
The coffee and chocolate flavor is so deep and intense, but the raspberry brightens things right up in such a lovely way! I think this is just the perfect make-ahead treat for warm summer nights.

Instructions
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl, and whip on medium speed until creamy and well-combined.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk the BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer together with the cocoa and espresso powder. Add the mixture to the bowl, scraping the sides down with a silicone spatula, and continue to mix on medium speed.
- In a thin, slow stream, pour in the cold cream. When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to medium high speed and whip until fluffy and stiff.
- In small jars, layer the mousse with the cookie crumbs and raspberry puree. Serve cold.

What a fabulous dessert! I love buying coffee creamer for my coffee, but it takes such a long time to go through a bottle using it just for coffee. Love discovering other ways to use it!
That's a great point Christin! Thanks so much dear and I hope you're all settled back in at home after our trip! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye- I thought we'd see each other when we deplaned but it was a mad scene!
This looks like my kind of dessert! I don't know which layer I'd love best...maybe a little bit of each in every spoonful!
That's just what I tried to do Kathy! Thanks so much and have a great day!

Don't raspberries and mocha taste so good together!? It's a match made in heaven. Thanks so much for pinning Ashley!
I went to a fancy restaurant in the city on the weekend, a French-style. This could have been on the menu. Seriously. So. Pretty. 🙂
Aw, thank you Nagi! That is a huge compliment!
Seriously one of the PRETTIEST desserts I have ever seen! Love this Allie. Just so beautiful!
Thanks Jessica! The raspberries were a last minute idea but I really think they made the dish!
