Ingredients

1½ cups Nilla Wafer Cookies

3 tbsp. butter (- salted)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

8 ounces cream cheese (- whipped)

1½ tbsp. real vanilla extract

14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk (- use only ½ a can)

Cinnamon (- 2 to 3 pinches)

¾ cup raspberries

1 cup blueberries

Directions

Grind 1½ cups of Nilla Wafers in a food processor, or put them in a bag and roll them with a rolling pin until they’re finely crumbled.

Melt 3 tbsp. of butter and mix into crumbles throughly.

Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until fully whipped in a blender – You’ll know it’s a perfect whipped cream when it stops spinning in the blender. 1 cup should take between 15-30 seconds to blend into whipped cream.

Pour into a large mixing bowl, then use a hand mixer to mix in 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese.

Pour in 1½ tbsp. of vanilla extract, a teeny, tiny amount of cinnamon (just 2 or 3 pinches) and the condensed milk (only use ½ of a 14 ounce can) and thoroughly mix with your mixer till perfectly creamy. Set aside.

Spoon about 2-3 tsp. of the crumbles into your jars or cups – enough to make your first layer, and gently pat down with a tool like the end of a spatula or spoon. I used the other end of my wooden lemon juicer. You’re going to have 5 layers total, so make sure not to fill too high.

You can either fill a pastry bag with your mousse an d create your second layer, or simply spoon it on top of your first crumble layer.

Place your raspberries around the edge of the jars. Then place your blueberries on top, making sure to fill in the gaps of the raspberries so your next crumble layer doesn’t fall through too much.

Add your next crumble layer to your jars.

Then add your last cheesecake layer. Leave a little room to place some berries right on top.

Screw on their tops (or cover with plastic-wrap if you’re using glasses) and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Serve and watch your friends swoon!
