Calories: 422kcal
Ingredients
For the crust
- 2 1/2 ounces chocolate covered pretzels
For the filling
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese (1 brick)
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup dark stout beer
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
For the topping
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Finely crush the pretzels in a food processor or mini-chopper. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mixture in the bottoms of six 5-ounce jars or beer-tasting glasses.
- Place the cream cheese, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl, and cream together until smooth.
- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the dark stout beer.
- When all of the beer has been incorporated, pour in the cream in a slow and steady stream, while mixing on medium speed.
- When all of the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to medium-high and whip until the mixture holds stiff peaks. (Be careful not to overwhip, or the cheesecake mousse could become runny.)
- Divide the mixture evenly between the six serving dishes.
- Whip the cream and sugar together until the mixture holds soft peaks.
- Top the cheesecakes with the whipped cream.
- Serve cold.
