Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 12 pieces Mini waffle cones
- 1 teaspoon Butter (unsalted)
- 50 grams Sprinkles or decorative sugar (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the hollow 'hat' shells. Bring the mini waffle cones to room temperature to avoid cracking during handling.
Melt 200 grams of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Dip the outer edge of each waffle cone into the melted chocolate and let it drip off the excess. Ensure the rims are coated evenly. If using sprinkles or decorative sugar, add them now by gently rolling or sprinkling them over the wet chocolate.
Place the coated cones upside down on parchment paper to fully harden (about 10-15 minutes).
While the cones are setting, make the chocolate mousse. Melt the remaining 100 grams of chocolate chips in the microwave or double boiler and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix so the mousse stays light and airy.
Transfer the mousse to a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip.
Once the chocolate cones are fully set, carefully pipe the chocolate mousse into each cone, filling it almost to the top.
For added flair, you can pipe a small decorative swirl of mousse at the open end and sprinkle some decorative sugar on top.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Enjoy these whimsical mousse-filled witches hats at your Halloween gathering!
