For the cheesecake mousse:
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the fruit layer:
2 large peaches, peeled and diced
1/2 small cantaloupe, peeled and diced
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the cream cheese until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the bowl and whisk until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the peaches and cantaloupe with honey and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well-combined.
5. To assemble, start with a layer of the cheesecake mousse, followed by a layer of the fruit mixture, and then a layer of the graham cracker crust. Repeat until the glass is full.
6. Serve chilled.
Tips
For a thicker cheesecake mousse, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour before assembling the dessert. This will give it a firmer texture that will hold up better in the glass.
You can also use different fruits to make this cheesecake mousse. Try raspberry and strawberry for a berry twist, or mango and pineapple for a tropical flavor.
For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle some caramel sauce or melted chocolate over the top of the dessert before serving.
