1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
1/4 cup (vegan) cream cheese (30 g) soften in room temp or 5-10 sec in the microwave
1/2 tbsp (optional) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix (4 g) sub drop of vanilla extract

In a bowl microwave to melt your butter and add other ingredients to form a cookie base. Press about 1 heaping tbsp into each muffin cavity. Freeze about 30 min to set.
In a small bowl mix together powder sugar, softened cream cheese and optional pudding mix (sub a drop of vanilla extract if you prefer to omit this ingredient). Stir to turn this into something spreadable like frosting. Adjust with more cream cheese or powder sugar to hit the frosting consistency.
Spread about 1 tbsp frosting on each muffin cavity. Freeze another 30 min to set.
Add chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave in 30 sec increments to melt and combine. Pour about 1 tbsp chocolate on each muffin cavity and freeze a few more minutes to set the chocolate.
Keep refrigerated or frozen, if frozen thaw gently before enjoying!

If this portion size is too big for you, we've also loved these as mini cups. The recipe should make 12.
I made them as cups since they're so cute and then you avoid slicing but go ahead and line a small loaf pan or square dish to make them as bars.
