Strawberry Cheesecake Shooter
Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
10 Strawberries – 3 for garnish
100g of crushed vanilla biscuits
Instructions
In a blender/smoothie maker, blitz the Strawberries until they reach a near liquid consistency.
Beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract and strawberries until completely combined
Gradually stir in icing sugar.
Slowly add heavy cream, stirring until combined.
Place mixer into your chosen container and place in fridge.
Crush the vanilla biscuits and chop remaining strawberries to garnish the cheesecake when ready to serve.
I left off the crushed vanilla biscuits on some of these shooters as we had some guests that couldn’t eat gluten. Without the crushed biscuits, it is a gluten free dessert, so it can work both ways which is very handy.

Chocolate Moose and Jelly Shooters
For these I just brought packet mixes to make life that little bit easier. I garnished the chocolate moose with strawberries as I had some left over. The same could easily be done with the Jelly. Garnishing anything whether it be meals or desserts is an easier way to make anything look more presentable.
