Recipe Tin Project: Heavenly Squares

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Topping

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
2. Spread this mixture evenly over the set chocolate layer. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish.

Step 4: Optional Decoration

• Sprinkle chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts over the top to make your Heavenly Squares even more tempting.

Step 5: Chill and Cut

1. Chill the completed tray in the fridge for at least 1 hour to ensure all layers are fully set.
2. Lift the squares out using the parchment overhang.
3. Cut into even squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between cuts for neat edges.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve chilled for a rich, creamy, chocolatey experience. These squares can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days—though they rarely last that long!

Tips for Perfection

• Chocolate quality matters: Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
• Layer patience: Allow each layer to set properly before adding the next; it ensures clean layers.
• Add texture: Sprinkle crushed biscuits or nuts between layers for a crunch surprise.

Heavenly Squares are a perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and chocolate indulgence. With this Recipe Tin Project-inspired treat, you’ll have a dessert that looks impressive but is surprisingly simple to make. Every bite is like a little square of heaven!
