Mickey Mouse Chocolate Moose Dessert Cups


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.
