One of the cutest party details was this ‘potted’ chocolate dessert – kind of like a chocolate mousse, really delicious, and really easy to make. And we thought you would just love this recipe!

Greetings from No. Dak. Forgive me if I overlooked the part where the chocolate is added to the cream cheese mixture, but am hoping for some clarification on the steps so all turns out as well as your potted beauties. Thank you, kindly.
Hi Carrie – thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! I have amended the recipe, and also include the amendments here:
