  • Pour the chocolate into a large bowl. Heat the heavy cream in the microwave until the cream begins to boil*. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth. Chill mixture in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Once the mixture has chilled completely, use a beater (or a stand mixer fitted the the whisk attachment) to whip the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer mousse to a pastry bag.

Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse:

  • Pour the chocolate into a large bowl. Heat the heavy cream in the microwave until the cream begins to boil*. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth. Chill mixture in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Once the mixture has chilled completely, use a beater (or a stand mixer fitted the the whisk attachment) to whip the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer mousse to a pastry bag.

Make the Chocolate Cups:

  • Heat the chocolate in the microwave until smooth and melted. Pour about 1 tablespoon of chocolate into a paper cupcake liner, then use a spoon to push the chocolate along the bottom and up the sides of the liner. Place into a cupcake pan. Repeat with the rest of the melted chocolate. Place pan in the freezer until the chocolate has set, about 10-15 minutes. Remove pan from the freezer, then peel the paper liner off of the chocolate cups.

To Assemble:

  • Place both pastry bags into a larger pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (like the Wilton 1M tip). Pipe the chocolate mousses together into each chocolate shell.
  • Top each mousse cup with chocolate curls. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

*Heavy cream can also be heated in a saucepan on the stove.
