Mousse-Filled Witches' Hats
Why I Love This Recipe
These rich snacks are filled with a creamy homemade mousse. Prepare them for your little goblins this Halloween.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup milk chocolate chips
4 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon shortening
1 package (4 3/4 ounces) chocolate ice cream sugar cones
Halloween sprinkles
12 thin chocolate wafers (2 1/4-inch diameter)
Directions
For mousse:
In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup cream to a boil; remove from the heat.
Stir in chocolate chips until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into the chocolate mixture.
Cover and refrigerate.
In microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth.
Dip pointed tips of ice cream cones a third of the way into melted chocolate; roll in sprinkles. Refrigerate until set.
Just before serving, spoon mousse into cones.
Top each with a chocolate wafer.
Invert onto a serving platter.
