I love whimsical desserts and am totally in love with this candy mold! The possibilities are endless and this time we have whipped up Mickey Mouse Chocolate Moose Dessert Cups that look like Rudolph.
1 silicone shot glass mold (found at Michael’s)
16 oz Ghiradelli melting chocolate wafers, 16 wafers set aside for the ears
1 package of small edible eyes
1 box of mini peppermint candy canes
8 red M&M’s
Chocolate Mousse:
4 large egg yolks
1/4 C sugar
1 C heavy whipping cream
6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 C heavy whipping cream
1 piping bag with a medium star tip
Directions:
Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate
Once melted, pour chocolate into the silicon molds and place into the freezer over night
Mousse directions:
Using a standing mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and creamy yellow color
Gradually beat in sugar until combined
Using a small pot, heat 1 cup whipping cream over medium heat until hot.
Gradually stir at least half of the hot whipping cream into egg yolk mixture
Pour mixture back into the pot
Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens
Stir in chocolate chips until melted.
Cover and refrigerate overnight
Next day:
Pop out the chocolate cups
Melt a small amount of chocolate for glue
Dip the eyes into the melted chocolate and place onto the chocolate cups
Dip the back of the red M&M into the chocolate and place onto the chocolate cup under the eyes
In a standing mixer, beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream.
Scoop into piping bag
Pipe mousse into the center of the chocolate cup
Place a mini candy cane in each side for the antlers
Place two chocolate wafer in front of each candy cane for the ears
Enjoy!
