Now who doesn´t like cute Christmas Trees that are edible and filled with black forest cheesecake?? I don´t kow anyone…
TELL ME ONE PERSON!
Ingredients
- 9 ice cream cones
- 6 x 150g dark melted chocolate - melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals
- 1 tub 226g / 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 6 tbsp dark cherry preserve
- 200ml whipped cream - make your own here
- edible balls for tree lights
- icing sugar to resemble snow
Instructions
- Scoop 1 tsp melted chocolate in each cone, then turn the cone until the whole cone is filled with a layer of chocolate.
- Allow to set in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese, 1/2 cup melted chocolate and black cherry preserve together well.
- Fold in the whipped cream.
- Fill each cone with the cheesecake mixture until almost the top.
- Top with more melted chocolate and allow to set for a further 10 minutes in the freezer.
- Chop 300g chocolate in a blender to make chocolate crumbs.
- Cover (I used a pastry brush) each cone with a layer of melted chocolate.
- Top with chocolate crumbs all over the cone.
- Use melted chocolate to stick the edible balls to the chocolate Christmas trees.
- Dust with icing sugar.
- Leave in the fridge until time to serve!
Notes
Thanks to Alter Gusto for the inspiration!
Black Forest gâteau (British English) and Black Forest cake (American English) are the English names for the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, literally “Black Forest cherry-torte”, where it originated. Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries.
My version today is non alcoholic, but feel free to add some Kirsch Cherry (by the way have you seen my cherry almond fudge recipe?) Liqueur! It can only make it taste better 🙂
This is the 3rd and last post / video in the #collabmas series I did with Lauren Caris Cooks. Check out Lauren´s black forest style chocolate ganache truffles post, as well as the video for that post, here.

How cute and fun are these ?! You stole my heart , wish I had them in front of me right now !
What a brilliant idea. I would love to make these with my kiddoes.
OMG Johlene… I am in love. This is such a fun idea and I love how these cheesecake forest trees came out looking. I must try this for myself. Thanks for this girl.
OMG, these trees are pure #foodporn. Can’t wait to try them. Merry christmas chef!
I love these, very very clever Christmassy idea.
wow – this is stunning what a great idea and so clever. a forest of black forest cake trees!
These are so cute! I love that they’re little self-contained desserts…perfect way to control portions (or just grab a handful to eat later, haha.) Merry Christmas, friend!
How adorable. You not only have a delicious dessert but also a centerpiece!! Love the idea. I am certainly pinning and sharing.
These look absolutely gorgeous, perhaps something that could be embarked upon with my two little ones. I’m not sure they will turn out as beautiful as yours, but we can only try 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
OMG I am so making these Johlene! They’re brilliant and stunning, plus my girls will be super excited to help 🙂 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🙂
Let me know how they turned out Mahy! The inside layer of chocolate keeps them fresh in the fridge for a couple of days too 🙂
This is absolutely brilliant! Not only tasty and chocolaty, but super adorable! I have some kiddos coming for Christmas Eve and I know they’ll flip for these (as will the bigger kiddos, too)! So great! Merry Christmas!
Thanks Patricia!! These are great for the little, not so little & big kiddos 🙂 🙂
Well you had me at Cheesecake and then at CHRISTMAS TREES again! This is the cutest idea everrrrrr! I think it is so festive and fun. Then not to mention the fact that its cheesecake!… HELLO! It doesn’t get much better than this! Love it girl 🙂
Thanks Taylor! I really like how these turned out! The best part is that they are not hard to make at all, And you could easily skip the step of adding the edible balls and just go straight to dusting them with icing sugar 🙂
