So, what makes these Mini Boozy Chocolate Cream Desserts so boozy? It’s all in the layers. The rich chocolate cream filling is spiked with dark rum—a recipe I first fell in love with after discovering these Chocolate Cream Slices in a vintage cookbook. And the topping? A dreamy amaretto whipped cream that I’ve been putting on everything lately. It’s become my new obsession—I’ve swirled it on top of Boozy Hot Chocolate, spooned it over cappuccinos, and yes… eaten it straight from the bowl. Once you try it, plain whipped cream just won’t cut it anymore

Ingredients
For the Mini Desserts
- 1 (12-count) package of mini phyllo dough cups
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Chocolate Rum Cream
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 5 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Amaretto Whipped Cream
- 4 oz. Cool Whip, about half the container or 4 oz. freshly whipped cream
- 1 Tablespoon amaretto liqueur
Instructions
Make the Chocolate Rum Cream
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to cool.
- Once chilled, add the dark rum and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and forms soft peaks. Do not overbeat—it can turn to chocolate butter.
- Taste and adjust if more rum is required.
Make the Amaretto Whipped Cream
- In a small mixing bowl, gently fold or whisk together the Cool Whip (or fresh whipped cream) and amaretto until fully combined.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Mini Desserts
- Spoon or pipe the chocolate rum cream into each phyllo dough cup.
- Top with a swirl of amaretto whipped cream.
- Garnish each with one fresh raspberry and a small mint leaf.
- Serve immediately for best texture. These can be refrigerated, but the chocolate filling with firm up.
