After work, however, I am headed to the store to pick up some good quality chocolate so I can make Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes and a Chocolate Tart. Now, when I say "cupcakes" I dont exactly mean that. They are more like cupmousses...but that sounds silly. The cup part of the dessert is solid chocolate that I am going to paint into cupcake molds (paper liners) and the cake part is going to be piped chocolate mousse. Did you just go into a sugar fit? I have been in one since I saw these little beauties.
I am also really excited about the Tart...I have only made fruit tarts before and while they are wonderful, the idea of biting into a slice of silky, rich dark chocolate (glazed with more chocolate) in a flaky buttery pie crust makes me want to dance and sing!
So Happy Monday to me and to you! xoxo
You are killing me here. I really want this! At Joann's (a fabric store that also has some baking stuff) I got these heart shaped silicone cupcake molds. I'm a sucker for hearts. I used them only once and didn't think the cupcakes came out as well as if baked in regular metal pans however I may have done too many on the sheet pan. But that would be really pretty for what you have here. Mousse filled hears are sure the way to my heart. On HGTV Anne Thornton made chocolate cups with some kids--blew up balloons, dipped in choc, let set, deflated and peeled away baloons. Not as pretty as what you have above but still cool.
