Chocolate - Cognac mousse with cream cheese and spicy berries

At Christmas, I wanted to please my family spicy, sweet and a little winter dessert. Recipe shared Natasha Ruletka site chef, for which she thanks a lot. Chocolate mousse was very airy and spicy, with a tender cheese cream with white chocolate and strawberry dessert gives the unforgettable pleasure. It is best to use a cherry, it goes well with spices and red wine, and has not so intense taste like strawberries. Strawberry is also very tasty, but I think that with cherries get the perfect combination. Merry Christmas!

I got mousse into 4 martini glasses and 2 cups.
