Dessert and Hot Chocolate

Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
4 c whole milk
1 dash water
3/4 c semi-sweet chips
1 t red food coloring paste
1 c heavy whipping cream
1 T sugar
1 t whipped cream cheese

Whip cream and sugar for 2-3 minutes.  Just before it peaks, add whipped cream cheese and whisk for 2 minutes.  Taste and add more ceram cheese to taste.  Do not overwhip!
In a medium saucepan, heat milk over medium.  Add a splash of water and chocolate chips, constantly stirring gently.  When almost melted, add red paste.  When chips totally melted, pour into mugs and top with whipped cream.

I didn't have the red paste, which, of course, does not affect the taste at all.  I also did not whip my cream cheese before adding it in.  I don't think it mattered!

Blackberry Cheesecake Pots
1/4 c heavy whipping cream
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c sugar
1 t vanilla
4 oz blackberries

Whip the cream.  Add cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and beat with paddle attachment until smooth.  Add half the blackberries and beat until just crushed.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Top with remaining berries.

I used all the berries except for enough to put 2 on top of each dish.  This is a pretty and simple dessert that looks classy:)
