Decadent Cream Cheese Brownie Crostini

This crostini transforms the classic cream cheese brownie into an elegant, bite-sized dessert. A crisp, buttery base is topped with a light, tangy cream cheese mousse, rich dark chocolate crumbles, and a vibrant raspberry drizzle. It's a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and intensely satisfying sweet flavors.

Sweet & Dessert

Ingredients

baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tbsp unsalted butter, melted
oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
tsp vanilla extract
tbsp heavy cream
1/2 cup crumbled dark chocolate brownie (store
bought or homemade)
tbsp raspberry jam, warmed and strained
Pinch of sea salt

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush both sides of the baguette slices with melted butter and a pinch of sea salt. Bake for 8 minutes
minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until light and fluffy. This is the cream cheese mousse.
To assemble, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mousse onto each cooled crostini.
Sprinkle the top of the mousse with the crumbled dark chocolate brownie pieces.
Drizzle the warmed, strained raspberry jam over the crostini just before serving for a final touch of color and fruitiness.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For an extra layer of decadence, use a high-quality dark chocolate brownie with a fudgy center. This dessert crostini pairs beautifully with a glass of late-harvest Zinfandel or a rich, dark-roast coffee.
