Steps:
- To Make Cups: In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate chips and shortening over high heat, stirring continuously until melted.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY MOUSSE CUPS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set aside. To prepare the chocolate cups, place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl and set aside. Fill a medium-size saucepot 1/3 of the way full with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and then place the bowl with the chocolate chips on top of the saucepot, and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Lightly whisk the chocolate chips until fully melted. Remove the bowl from the saucepot. Pour 1 Tbsp of the melted chocolate into each liner and with a small pastry brush, spread the chocolate to completely cover the inside of the paper cup liner. Refrigerate the cups for 10 minutes. Once chilled, add another Tbsp of melted chocolate and spread again to evenly cover the previous layer of chocolate. Refrigerate until needed. To prepare the chocolate mousse, place the chocolate chips in a medium-size bowl and set aside. Pour the cream and the corn syrup into a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips, and let stand for a couple of minutes. Add the butter and vanilla and whisk lightly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is fully incorporated. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, or until cold, stirring occasionally. Place the cooled chocolate mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment. Beat the mixture until light and fluffy, making sure not to over whip. To assemble the mousse cups, scoop 1 Tbsp of the raspberry jam into each of the chocolate cups. Next, pipe an equal amount of the chocolate mousse into each cup, then pipe a small dollop of whipped topping in the middle of each mousse cup. Place one fresh raspberry and one mint leaf on the whipped topping. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help the cream to whip up more quickly and easily.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy. Beat the cream until it is just stiff enough to hold its shape.
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries will give the mousse the best flavor. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but thaw them before using.
- Chill the mousse before serving. This will help the mousse to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cups are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
