Hershey Candy Cane Sugar Cups with Chocolate Mousse
Last Updated on 2020-02-09 by Linda
Every year at Christmas I start a baking frenzy and I try to come up with something new and different. This year inspiration struck from the strangest of places. I was creating a new recipe to showcase how Cinnamon Crunch Toast Cereal could be used and decided I needed a sugar cookie base. Well sometimes I cheat a little ( or use great hacks) and I purchased a already made dough to use, well I was then left with over half a roll and was trying to think about what I could do. In the midst of creating my Gingerbread Cookie Cups ( found here in this post) I was stuck with inspiration, I could make cookie cups and fill them with yumminess.
Using a small muffin tin pan ( lined with cupcake liners) create small cups. ( follow recipe on sugar cookie package for baking or if you have tons of time create your own. I used Pillsbury ready made) I decided Candy cane chocolate centers topped with chocolate mousse would be perfect… I know how yummy does this sound. In a small bowl add Candy Cane Kisses, melt in microwave and spoon into cookie cups.
Creating the mousse is relatively simple but make sure you follow precisely, my first time I mixed the two with the “mixer” instead of folding, EPIC FAIL.
Mousse
2 Cups heavy cream ( whipping cream)
12 ounces chocolate ( white for the white chocolate and milk chcocolate for the dark)
Beat cream until peaks are forming and set aside
Melt chocolate in microwave ( i go one minute at a time)
let chocolate start to cool and then fold into the cream ( slowly)
let set in fridge for two hours.
Add to decorating bag and pipe into cookie cups.
Sprinkle with Candy Cane Pieces and then dig in
