We are having a new dessert and some tea on the patio. You can choose which mug you'd like.
I must warn you about this mug. While it's so pretty, it's rather difficult to drink from by the way it's rounded at the top.
Oh my goodness, this dessert happens to be my new favorite! Even my son, who is staying here with me, said, "That dessert was so creamy and good". It's a great dessert to have on hand in the freezer and to pull out when you have unexpected company or for a perfect ending to a meal. Please try it soon! It's cool, utterly creamy and a perfect for summer.
Frozen Strawberry-White Chocolate Mousse Squares adapted from Kraftrecipes.com
20 Chocolate Creme Cookies, finely crushed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 pkg. (4 oz. each) White Chocolate (6 oz.), divided
2 tubs (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese Spread
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
1 cup thawed frozen Whipped ToppingMIX cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of plastic wrap-lined 9-inch square pan. (I didn't do this.)
MICROWAVE 5 oz. chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until melted, stirring after 1 min. Beat cream cheese spread in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Blend in melted chocolate and strawberries. Whisk in thawed frozen whipped topping; pour over crust.
FREEZE 6 hours or until firm. Remove dessert from freezer 15 min. before serving. Shave remaining 1 oz. chocolate into curls; place on dessert. Use plastic wrap to remove dessert from pan before cutting to serve. (See NOTE)
*NOTE (I found it easier to not line the dish with plastic and to leave the dessert out on the counter for about 10 minutes to make cutting easier.)

Hi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteYour dessert looks amazing! I must tell you that I made your Raspberry Crumble bar on the weekend for a Bridal Shower and mentioned it in my blog today! It was so delicous! Now I must try this one! It looks perfect for my rehearsal dinner party for my son's wedding! Thank you soooo much! Love the strawberry cup but I am sure I would drop tea on me! Karen
Oooh does that ever look delicious! I like the idea of having it on hand for unexpected guests.
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite refreshing on a hot summer day.
Beautiful table setting Kitty.
Enjoy your time with your son.
Blessings! Debbie
Oh Kitty - your table looks just delightful. And that dessert looks so tempting. I love that you've set the table for two. Believe me...I'd be right over if I could. Must try that dessert soon. XO
ReplyDeleteI love that strawberry mug, even if my drink might pour down my chin because I'm never a careful guzzler. It all looks so happy and springy to me, and the recipe really does sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table you have set. And I can see why your recipe is so special. I may have to try it my self.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing summer setting you did! I love strawberries, so the way this was setup is just amazing to me. Thanks for sharing the yummy recipe! I will have to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog. What a beautiful blog it is. I love the classic black, white, and red. One of my blogs is devoted solely to classic films, and those are my colors there. They are just so classy!
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry dessert sounds delish. It would have been a perfect Memorial Day dessert. Since that is now past, I'm thinking it will work for the 4th of July!
Thanks for sharing,
Patti
I am so trying this recipe Kitty! Thank you for sharing another great sweet treat! Have a beautiful summer love!
ReplyDeleteI love your strawberry mug! So cute! Everything looks wonderful. I would love to try the recipe, but can't...sigh...all the good things have milk products in them and I'm just getting over a sinus infection. Rats! But thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Kitty, your mug is so cute, especially with your strawberry dessert. What a perfect little dessert to cool us off. Still doing some research about not getting email updates. xo
ReplyDeleteThis dessert looks amazing! I want some right now!
ReplyDeleteHow delicious Kitty. I am amazed at all the dishes you come up with and this one looks wonderful! Such a pretty table with all the "red". So glad you shared this recipe too!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYour strawberry tea looks delicious! I LOVE the strawberry pitcher--it makes a wonderful vase! The setting is so wonderful too! I think I would be greedy and request the strawberry mug--too cute! The plates and cake both look delicious (and cute)!
ReplyDeletePuh-leeze!!!!! As if this would ever make it to the freezer to be pulled out for guests!!! I'd be my own "guest" slice by slice until it was completely gone!!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks divine! What's not to love about this incredible recipe?! It has tasty strawberries, chocolate creme cookies, and white chocolate - oh my! Talk about perfection :)
ReplyDeleteI am off to get your Texas Sheet Cake recipe since it's my husband's birthday today and I'm making that for tonight :) Thanks my friend. Love to you!
I am not showing these to John. He is a strawberry freak, but I might just have to surprise him. That table is summer to the 10th power. Just beautiful...even the cup that might be a challenge to drink from.
ReplyDeleteLooks delish Kitty, and your presentation is wonderful as always.

your dessert sounds wonderful...I love the addition of the white chocolate and the chocolate crust...I make a peach cream pie this time of year and I use a chocolate cookie crust...I think using chocolate is better then your traditional graham cracker crumbs...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis whole table screams summer Kitty! That dessert looks delicious! YUM! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Wow, I love this dessert, Kitty. It looks delicious and can be made ahead of time. We are just getting into our peak strawberry season and I'm preparing a family dinner tomorrow. Perfect timing, thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing Kitty. Lovely pix and what a yummy dessert. Our local strawberries are out now and a favorite of my husband. I think I should make this for him.
