You’ll want to serve these in champagne flutes. Plain flutes will show off your dessert better than ornate versions.
Dave really likes this dessert, but he suggested another layer of the cookie crumble in the middle would add to the dessert. Maybe you should take his suggestion.
You definitely want to buy a gourmet raspberry jam to take this dessert over the top.
If you aren’t fond of raspberries, strawberries would be a great alternative to raspberries.
I wasn't sure how the champagne would combine in this recipe, but it blended nicely. We had leftover champagne. You know the cork will never fit back in the bottle, and if it does, it will pop out overnight.
After a little research, I found that the best way to keep it is to place a piece of plastic wrap over the bottle opening and secure it with a rubber band. The most important factor is to keep the champagne cold.

White Chocolate Champagne Cheesecake Mini Desserts
Cheesecake:
- 12 ounces White chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 3/4 cup chilled Champagne
- 8 ounces Cream cheese – softened
- 1 cup Amaretti Cookies – crushed
- Raspberry Jam
- Fresh Raspberries
- Mint leaves for garnish
Directions:
Combine the white chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Then, remove the pan from the heat, add the champagne, and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool for fifteen minutes.
Next, place the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over it. Beat with a mixer until smooth and lump-free.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Amaretti Cookie Crumbs:
You can place the amaretti cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Alternatively, add the cookies to a food processor and pulse a few times.
Divide the cookie crumb mixture equally into the six champagne flutes.
Add the Cheesecake Mixture
Transfer some of the cheesecake mixture to a glass measuring cup. Repeat as necessary. Pour the mixture equally into 6 champagne flutes.
Add a spoonful of raspberry jam on top of the cheesecake mixture.
Refrigerate until time to serve. Top with a red raspberry and a mint leaf.
These champagne cheesecakes are best served immediately or chilled.
