CHOCOLATE CUPS WITH CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MOUSSE

This chocolate marshmallow mousse is even better when it is served in edible chocolate cups and topped with fresh berries!
Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Place 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval.
  • Place 12 paper muffin cups in a muffin tin. When the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, use a small pastry brush to coat the bottom and sides of the paper muffin cups.
  • Refrigerate for about 10 minutes and then add a little bit of coating to any thin spots. Chill for at least 2-3 hours before removing the paper.
  • To make the mousse, combine the marshmallows and milk in a saucepan and stir over low heat until the marshmallows are melted.
  • Remove from heat and add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until melted and cool completely.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream until stiff and then fold the whipped cream into the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
  • Scoop into the chocolate cups right before serving. Top with a berry if desired! Store any extra cups and mousse in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

A couple tips for success: Make sure not to brush the chocolate all the way up the sides - I like to coat the wrapper about 2/3 of the way up the sides. Also, make sure that the chocolate coating is fairly thick. If it is too thin, it will make it really hard to remove the paper without breaking the chocolate cups.
