CANDY CANE CHOCOLATE CUPS

Steps:

• Pour white chocolate into a bowl so that the chocolate is about 3 inches deep.
• Pour the red chocolate into a disposable pastry bag or zip-top bag.
• Cut the tip off the bag.
• Pipe 5 to 7 lines of red chocolate over the top surface of the white chocolate.
• Dip one balloon into the bowl of chocolate to cover about 2/3rd's of the balloon.
• Lift the balloon out of the chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
• Set the balloon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Repeat by piping the same number of red stripes over the bowl of white chocolate.
• Dip another balloon.
• Repeat.
• If using pure white chocolate, refrigerate the balloons until the chocolate sets.
• If using Candy Melts, place the balloons in the freezer for about 3 minutes.
• Remove and let sit for one minute.
• Then, cut a small hole near the knot on the balloon to allow the air to escape.
• Tug and pull the balloons out of the chocolate cups.
• Fill with White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse, ice cream, pudding, candy or nuts.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CUPS

Steps:

• Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and put a cookie in the bottom of each cup. Whisk the eggs, sugar, salt and water in a large heatproof bowl. Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan and set the bowl on top (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until pale, fluffy and very thick (like a thick pudding), 25 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of your bowl. Remove from the heat and whisk in the melted chocolate; let cool.
• Beat 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with the sour cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain, then divide evenly among the muffin cups. Cover and refrigerate until set, 12 hours or overnight.
• Run an offset spatula around each mousse cup to loosen and slide the spatula under the cookie; remove the mousse cups. (If they're too soft to remove, freeze briefly.) Beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form, then dollop onto the mousse cups and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CUPS

Steps:

• For the white chocolate mousse, place the white chocolate and butter in a medium bowl, with a strainer placed over it. Heat the milk to just below a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the yolks, sugar and cornstarch together. Whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture gradually, whisking while adding. Return this to the pot and continue to whisk over medium heat until glossy and thickened, about 4 minutes then stir in the softened gelatin. Pour this through the strainer and stir until the chocolate and butter has melted. Cool the chocolate mixture to room temperature.
• Whip the cream until it holds a soft peak and fold this into the chocolate mixture. Chill the mousse until set slightly but still soft, about 90 minutes.
• For the chocolate cups, inflate and tie the mini balloons. Give them a little wipe with a damp cloth and allow them to dry. Have ready a parchment-lined baking tray.
• Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl, placed over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring gently until melted. Remove the chocolate from the heat.
• Dip the balloons halfway into the chocolate on a angle, and lift and rotate as dipping repeatedly, creating a tulip shape. Shake off excess chocolate and place each balloon onto the parchment-lined tray. Chill the balloons until the chocolate has set.
• Use a pin to gently pop the balloon and let the air out slowly. Lift the balloon out of the cup and discard. Pipe the white chocolate mousse into the cups and top with raspberries or chocolate shavings. Chill until ready to serve.
