Chocolate Mousse Bowls
A really simple but rich dessert. Make the bowls using small balloons (water balloon size) and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Bowls
Chocolate Mousse Bowls
- 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp shortening
Melt for 1 minute in microwave, until melted and combined. Blow up 4 balloons to approx 3 inches diameter. Dip the balloons in the chocolate, swirling to coat. Chill on waxed paper in the fridge for 30 minutes, then poke a small hole in the balloon and allow air to escape slowly. Peel ballon back and the bowl is finished.
Mousse
- 1.5 c heavy whipping cream
- pinch of salt
- 1.5 c semisweet chocolate chips (this was really chocolatey, if I made it again I’d use less chocolate)
- 2 tbsp confectioners sugar
Melt chocolate and pinch of salt in top of a double boiler. While chocolate is melting, whip cream and sugar until cream holds its form. Remove chocolate from heat. Fold in 1/2 the whipped cream and keep folding until completely combined. Fold in the rest of the cream. Spoon into bowls and serve immediately.
