No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Phyllo Shells - Perfect for Bridal Showers!

[jrstephens]

It is a chocolate mousse that goes in pre-made phyllo shells. I have used it before and turned it pink. It was around when I first started a few years ago. I know it had cool whip and chocolate in it. It was no bake from what I remember.

I have a Bridal shower in Feb and need something simple but that will go a long way to demo.

Chocolate Silk Mousse in Crispy Shells

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) frozen whipped topping, thawed, 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.

That is it!! Thanks!!

Except I did them in the pre-packaged mini-phyllo shells instead of making the shells.

Yep, the crepes are yummy but a PITA to work with!

Hi there! I have just the recipe for you - our Easy Chocolate Mousse Phyllo Cups! This no-bake dessert is perfect for bridal showers and can easily be made in advance. All you need is some pre-made phyllo shells, chocolate, and cool whip. Simply melt the chocolate and mix it with the cool whip, then spoon it into the phyllo cups and chill until ready to serve. You can even add some food coloring to make it pink if you'd like. Let me know how it turns out for your demo! Happy cooking!
