Chocolate Mousse in Chocolate Cups

Hey I saw this here and was super excited to try. The chocolate cups turned out well. I made a simple eggless mousse to fill the cups. The choco cups with mousse are so divine that you're sure to drown. Why waiting?. Make it for your family and enjoy. I used muffin cups to make the choco cups, but would prefer cupcake sizes next time. It is too rich. A lovely dessert which will surely get you claps. In the original recipe they've asked to use semi sweet chocolate. I used a mix of milk and dark chocolate. The below will get you 3 to 4 muffin size cups

For chocolate cups
You need

• Milk chocolate - 50 gm
• Dark chocolate - 50 gm

Method

• Line muffins cups with paper liners
• Melt chocolate using double boiling method. The bottom of the bowl shouldn't touch the boiling water.
• Stir continuously
• When the chocolate has completely melted and is smooth, spoon into muffin liners
• Using a pastry brush, brush chocolate over bottom and sides to coat evenly
• Place the coated cups in muffin tray and freeze them for 30 minutes or until firm
• Give a second chocolate coating to each cup in the inside and freeze until completely set.
• Once set peel off the muffin liners very carefully
• Cover and keep frozen until use

For mousse
You need

• Chocolate chips - 100 gms (I used a mix of white and milk chocolate chips)
• Cream - 170 gms
• Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
• Sugar (as required) - I didn't use

Method

• Beat cream with powdered sugar until you get soft peaks
• Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler.
• When it has completely melted and is smooth, allow its temperature to drop a bit. It should be warm.
• Fold the beaten cream into the melted chocolate and beat well.
• Pour into the chocolate cups and freeze for atleast one hour before serving. :)
