What's better than one Valentine's Day dessert? Two Valentine's desserts, in one, silly, like this chocolate mousse inspired by chocolate-covered strawberries.

Whoever came up with the phrase “sharing is caring" must have been thinking about this Valentine's Day dessert idea.
This chocolate truffle cherry cheesecake is the perfect shareable dessert to show off with your family or friends at a Galentine's Day party.
A twist on the classic cheesecake, this recipe starts with a chocolate cookie base and creamy chocolate cheesecake center. What makes this cheesecake so special, though, is the decadent next-level topping: silky chocolate ganache, cherries, and signature chocolate truffles. It's time to level up.
