Hey guys, I was making a dessert for my family that came in from Chicago and could not find the recipe for it. We had it in the SB a few falls ago (maybe 04). It was Chocolate Mousse in crispy cups or something like that. I made it so many times during that season that I kinda remember how it went, but would like to have an official copy of the recipe.

If any of you guys still have this recipe could you post it for me please? Thanks!!:love:
 
It's a great frosting too!! I actually use pie crust dough, cut with the Scalloped Bread tube and pushed into the Mini Muffin Pan. Bakes and fill with this. They are cute and smaller and taste like french silk pies. YUM!
