Ingredients:

Graham Cracker Crust:

• **
• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed gingersnaps)
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (2 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 3/4 cup powdered confectioners’ sugar (for ultra-silky texture)
• 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 3 cups fresh ripe strawberries (hulled and sliced)

Method:

Step 1: Melt Chocolate Base & Prep Glasses

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water, melt chopped bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring occasionally until velvety and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm. Set aside 6 dessert glasses.

Step 2: Whisk Egg Yolks into Chocolate

Whisk egg yolks and pure vanilla extract into the lukewarm chocolate mixture until completely smooth, glossy, and cohesive. Fold gently in wide figure-eight motions with a flexible spatula to preserve the delicate airy volume without deflating.

Step 3: Whip Cream and Egg Whites

In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks and refrigerate. In another impeccably clean bowl, whip egg whites with fine sea salt on medium speed until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar, beating on high speed until glossy stiff peaks form.

Step 4: Fold Mousse to Cloud-Like Aeration

Be sure to gently fold in the fresh sliced strawberries to infuse signature strawberry flavor.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve Chilled

Garnish each chilled dessert glass with a dollop of whipped cream, delicate chocolate curls, or a dusting of pumpkin pie spice, and serve chilled with dessert spoons.

Flavor Variations & Adaptations

• Berry & Fruit Swirl: Fold in fresh raspberries, wild blueberries, or sliced bananas for juicy bursts of natural sweetness.
• Spice Accent: Add a pinch of cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, or pure vanilla bean paste for bakery-fresh warmth.
