Chocolate Mousse Cups





This a really easy, fast dessert and yet it looks much more complicated. I was trying to think of a yummy dessert for a baby shower that I was attending and this fit exactly what I needed. Start with a package of frozen filo cups (in the dessert section of the frozen aisle at the store), a box of Jello Dark Chocolate Mousse, some raspberries and dark chocolate for creating shavings.

Mix up the mousse with a cup of milk. I let mine set overnight in the bowl (I think it would have been fine to pipe the mouse directly into the cups, but I was worried that the mousse would make the shell soggy since the party was the next day).
I put the refrigerated mousse in a zipper bag with a large star tip in the corner.
Ta da! It took less than 5 minutes to make the mousse cups (2 packages of cups needed 1 package of mousse)=30 bites

I topped each bite with a raspberry then used my vegetable peeler to shave some Lindt dark chocolate over the top. Super tasty (total hands on time=10 minutes, with refrigeration time at least 2 hours).
