Chocolate Mousse in Phyllo Cups

In summary, the conversation is about a recipe for Chocolate Silk Mousse in Crispy Shells from the Pampered Chef's 2005 F/W Season's Best catalogue. The recipe calls for crepes, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, chocolate morsels, and Cool Whip, and also suggests optional toppings such as strawberry ice cream topping, sliced strawberries, and grated chocolate. The recipe also provides variations for the mousse and the shells. The conversation ends with a reminder to check the produce section of the grocery store for pre-made crepes and tips for softening cream cheese and filling the shells.

Chocolate Silk Mousse in Crispy Shells
The Pampered Chef ®
2005 F/W Season’s Best Page 26-27


1 package (5 ounces) 9-inch crepes (10 crepes)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon Pantry Double Strength Vanilla
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, melted
1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip, divided

Toppings such as strawberry ice cream topping, sliced strawberries and finely grated chocolate (optional)

Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange five 4-inch balls of aluminum foil on Large Round Stone. Fold each crepe into eighths and cut outside edge using Kitchen Shears to form a heart shape. Unfold crepes and drape over balls of foil. Bake 4-5 minutes or until crepes are golden brown. Remove from oven. Repeat with remaining crepes; cool completely on Stackable Cooling Rack.

In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla; whisk until smooth using Stainless Whisk. Place chocolate in Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 40-60 seconds or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each 20-second interval. Cool chocolate slightly; stir into cream cheese mixture using Classic Scraper. Mix until smooth. Immediately fold in half of the whipped topping until smooth. Fold in remaining whipped topping.

Attach open star tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; fill with mousse. To assemble desserts, pipe a dime-size amount of the mousse onto plate to hold shell in place (or spoon about 2 tablespoons ice cream topping onto plate, if desired). Place one shell onto each plate. Pipe a 2-inch rosette of mousse into each shell. Finely grate chocolate over dessert using Microplane® Adjustable Grater. If desired, remove stems from strawberries using Cook's Corer®. Slice using Egg Slicer Plus®. Fan out strawberry slices and place into top of mousse.

Cook's Tip: Pre-made crepes can be found in the produce section of the grocery store, usually near the berries.

To soften cream cheese, microwave on HIGH 15-20 seconds or until softened. Whisk until smooth.

If desired, the Medium Scoop or Large Scoop can be used to fill shells with mousse.

For a dramatic garnish, drizzle insides of shells with additional melted chocolate.


Mousse Variation: White Chocolate Silk Mousse: Substitute white chocolate morsels for the semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Garnish with chocolate ice cream topping, toasted almonds, fresh raspberries and powdered sugar, if desired.

Shell Variation: Phyllo Nests: Omit crepes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll eight sheets (9 x 14 inches) of thawed, frozen phyllo dough. Place 2 tablespoons sugar in Flour/Sugar Shaker. Lay one sheet of phyllo on flat work surface and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with some of the sugar. Repeat with three more sheets of phyllo. Using Pizza Cutter, cut phyllo stack lengthwise into two equal strips and then crosswise into three strips, creating six squares of layered phyllo dough. Place one square in each cup of Stoneware Muffin Pan, arranging slightly to fit cup. Repeat with remaining four sheets of phyllo. Bake 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove pan from oven and let cool 2 minutes on Stackable Cooling Rack. With tip of Utility Knife, carefully remove each phyllo nest; cool completely. Proceed as recipe directs in Steps 2 and 3.
