-
For the crust: Mix powdered graham crackers + melted butter + sugar. Transfer into small serving cups and press down with a spoon.
-
Beat cream cheese + sugar until soft. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.
-
In another bowl beat whipping cream + 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. Add this and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and fold it gently and mix until everything incorporates well.
-
Cover individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-4 hours before serving.
-
For garnish: Use chocolate shavings, salted caramel sauce or your favorite toppings.
-
For chocolate shaving: Melt 1/4 cup chocolate + butter in a microwave or on a double broiler. (I placed it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stirred and put it again for another 30 seconds. The top of the chocolate will look undone, but keep stirring and it will melt.)
-
Pour this on a plastic or wooden cutting board. Let it cool and harden for some time, about 30 minutes. Then with a sharp knife at 45 degree angle, holding both your hands, try to scrape the chocolate gently lifting it up. You can also make chocolate curls this way. (It can take a little practice and the chocolate has to set well for the best outcome)

Finding this difficult? Use a vegetable peeler on a chocolate bar. Use spoon to lift up the shavings.
