Chocolate Mousse Cups

Looking for a Halloween dessert that’s elegant enough for adults but still fun for the season? These Chocolate Mousse Cups are rich, airy, and just dramatic enough to fit your Halloween table. Layered with dark chocolate, whipped cream, and crushed cookies for a “graveyard” look, they’re a treat that balances spooky charm with timeless style.

Ingredients:

-1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

-½ cup dark chocolate chips

-2 tbsp sugar

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-Crushed chocolate cookies (for “dirt”)

-Optional: chocolate shavings, candy ghosts, or edible glitter for garnish

Directions:

1.Melt the chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips in 20-second intervals until smooth. Let cool slightly.

2.Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

3.Fold it together: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully blended.

4.Assemble: Spoon mousse into small glasses or ramekins. Top with crushed cookies for a “dirt” effect and any spooky garnishes you like.

5.Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serving Tip:

Serve in clear glassware or small ramekins — the layered look adds instant drama to your table. If you’re hosting, line them on a serving board surrounded by candles or seasonal décor for an elevated Halloween display.

Halloween desserts don’t have to be complicated — or covered in candy. With a few ingredients and a little presentation, you can create a dessert that feels festive, delicious, and perfectly grown-up.
