 BAKE MALTED CHEESECAKE JARS

INGREDIENTS

1. 2 cups chilled heavy cream
2. ½ cup granulated sugar, divided
3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4. 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
5. 1 tablespoon malted milk powder (optional)
6. 2 cups (220 grams) Whoppers® Mini Robin Eggs® (malted milk balls), divided
7. 1 tablespoon (15 grams) unsalted butter, melted
8. 6 8-ounce jars or cups
9. 18 Whoppers® Mini Robin Eggs® (for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip heavy cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract at medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Place bowl in the refrigerator to keep cool.
2. Place cream cheese in a clean stand mixer bowl* and beat with the paddle attachment on medium high speed until smooth and lump-free, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar and malted milk powder (if using) and beat for another minute.
3. With a rubber spatula, fold 2 cups of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until uniform. There should be about 1 cup of whipped cream left for topping; place it back in the refrigerator to keep cool. Place the cheesecake mousse mixture in the refrigerator as well.
4. In a food processor, grind 1 cup (110 grams) of Whoppers® Mini Robin Eggs® into a fine powder. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press 1 tablespoon of the malted milk ball crust into each jar.
5. In the same food processor bowl (it should be empty of the crust, but doesn't need to be totally clean), pulse the remaining 1 cup (110 grams) of Whoppers® Mini Robin Eggs® until coarsely chopped.
6. Pipe or spoon half of the cheesecake mousse between the 6 jars. Sprinkle with 1½ tablespoons coarsely ground malted milk balls. Pipe or spoon the remaining cheesecake mousse on top of the malted milk ball layers. Finally, pipe or dollop whipped cream on the top and garnish with 3 candies per jar. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
7. (If you will be transporting the jars, you will want to make sure that the whipped cream doesn't go over the top of the jar so you can put a lid on it. In this case, you may want to wait to put the whipped cream on until right before serving.)

NOTES

1. *If you only have one bowl for your stand mixer, it will be necessary to transfer the whipped cream into another container to chill, clean the mixing bowl, and use it for the next step. Alternatively, you can use a hand mixer and a clean mixing bowl.
