It was my parents wedding anniversary the beginning of March and that weekend they were coming over for a BBQ and I wanted to make a special dessert. So I hit up Pinterest and found this recipe on Nugget Market that looked fun and yummy. Here is the link http://www.nuggetmarket.com/recipes.php?id=219 their pictures are amazing! I had Ayden help me with the chocolate bowl and he had so much fun eating the bowls it was so worth the effort! Enjoy!
Here is what you need:
- 12 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- 4 balloons partially filled
- Cookie sheet covered with wax paper or aluminum foil
- 3 oz Cream Cheese
- 2 Tbs Butter softened
- 3/4 C Confectioner's Sugar
- 1/4 C C Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1 Tbs Milk
- 1/4 Tbs Vanilla
- 1 C Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Pint Fresh Berry (any kind you choose)
In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate in a double boiler on low heat. Melt until the chocolatereaches a smooth consistency. Removed chocolate from pan and let sit at room temperature for 5-7 mins.
Prep your cookie sheet with liner. Dip the bottom half of your blown up balloons in the chocolate and rest on the cookie sheet for 3-4 mins, then repeat process.
Place the balloons in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove and gently pop the balloons, carefully peeling the balloon from the chocolate (this is the hardest part, have patience). Leave bowls in a cool place loosely covered.
To make the chocolate mousse:
With a mixer cream together cream cheese and butter on medium speed. Add confectioners sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Continue to beat mixture until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl whip heavy cream on medium until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula. Spoon or pipe mousse into the chocolate bowls. Return the bowls to the refrigerator until ready to use. I let mine sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour and they were perfect.
Just before serving add your berries.
