A very simple recipe with simple flavors, not too rich but simply perfect. If you having a guest for dinner this weekend, they are going to love these dessert cups filled with the flavor of white chocolate & cream cheese. Also, easy to make and they look lovely.
Chocolate Shell (Cup)
So, to make these gorgeous white chocolate & cheese mousse cups we first need to make the cup (chocolate tart). To make the chocolate tarts you need to melt white chocolate and form the chocolate shells using silicon molds.
I have used a silicon muffin mold, however, you have various silicone molds available in various shapes and sizes, feel free to use what you prefer or what is available.
It is important you put at least two coats of white chocolate to make sure your shells do not break easily. If you’d like shells made with dark chocolate or milk chocolate, go ahead… Refrigerate them for 20 mins before you use them. Make sure you do not freeze them as they would crack easily.
For the mousse
I like to use dairy whipping cream, it tastes great with a very creamy consistency. The cream is one of the essential ingredients for making the mousse, make sure you do not overbeat the cream as that would change the texture of the mousse.
Once you add the white chocolate, pipe the mousse into the chocolate shells. Do not leave unattended for long as the chocolate in the mousse would set and the whipping cream consistency would also change. To get a creamy finish pipe the mousse once ready.
I’ve added vanilla essence to this recipe, however, if you’d like to play with flavors you can even add mint essence or any other flavoring of your choice.

Instructions – White Chocolate Cheese Mousse Cups
For the Chocolate Cups
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave for 30 secs or until completely melted.
Pour the chocolate into the silicon mold completely and then empty the mold, this will remove all the excess chocolate and also create a chocolate shell onto the silicon mold. Refrigerate for 5 mins and do this again in the same mold giving it a second coating of chocolate, this will make sure the shell is firm. Store in the refrigerator and remove from silicon mold whenever needed or once firm. Make sure you clean the edges of the mold with a palette knife each time you coat it with chocolate, this will give you a clean edge.
For the Mousse
In a large bowl, beat whipping cream with an electric beater until light & fluffy (not stiff), add in the vanilla essence, cream cheese & icing sugar. Beat well until well combined
