  • 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup boxed red velvet cake mix
  • red food coloring
  • 1 graham cracker crust, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chips)

    4. Step 4When ready to serve, make ganache. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat and pour over chocolate. Let sit 3 minutes, then stir until creamy.
