Valentine Cream Cheese Molds

 Yes, this is a little early, but they deserve a showcase, and they go with the Fruit Sauce I posted yesterday. Yes, I changed the title from what Better Homes and Gardens called it. (Credit Where Credit is Due!) 

You can use ANY mold, and that includes those glass custard cups you keep in the back of the cupboard and wonder what to do with them. That makes this dessert great for any time of year, and no special molds needed to clutter up the cabinet. 

Hint: Skip the whipping cream and just use Cool Whip.

Hint: Instead of the vanilla, almond, or lemon extract, there are lots of flavors of extracts. Torani.com makes large bottles of flavors, both sugar-free and sugary good. Think outside the box. Peach flavor and peach fruit sauce, for instance. Go with the seasonal flavors, and you'll never be without a quick and easy dessert to surprise guests. 

You can even not bother with unmolding and skip the cheesecloth. Spoon the deliciousness into a custard cup or fancy dessert dish and spoon some sauce over it. Now think outside the box again. What about spooning this deliciousness into those itty bitty pastry cups for a sweet taste, or how about a slice of pound cake? How about spooning into a small ice cream cone? 

This is the great Fool Them dessert. So much art for so little work!
