Mousse in Flower Chocolate Cups



My tray is lined with a pretty crocheted doily and set with my Great Aunt's painted plate and tea cup.  I love candles and used my lantern from Target and an orange spice scented candle from Swan Creek that comes in a teacup.  Oh my, does it ever smell good!  I'm having some orange spice tea to enjoy.  Care to join me?



For this sweet, Spring treat, I bought some chocolate flower cups from World Market and filled them with some delicious, low-cal mousse, recipe found here . Just top them with some fresh berries and you're set for a yummy dessert.  The chocolate cups are a seasonal item and if you can't find them, just fill a pretty dessert dish with the mousse. 



I'm not sure what this flower is that my Aunt painted, but I love it on the green background.



Just top the mousse with some berries and you have a perfect, light dessert. 

TIP:  I filled a food safe storage bag with the mousse, cut off the tip and piped it into the dessert shells.

  1. Hi Kitty,

    You've fixed such a pretty tea tray! I love the basket tray and doily, and your lantern gives off such a cozy light. I have one on our fireplace hearth, and I love to turn it on at night. Your aunt has painted a GORGEOUS tea cup, saucer and plate! Wow! Those colors are just beautiful.

    Your white chocolate mousse looks and sounds delicious (I checked out the recipe). Those chocolate cups are so cute; I'll have to look for those at our World Market. I hope you have a wonderful week!

    Hugs,

  2. Hi Kitty,
    whats cooking? Oh no, I have to ask: Whats baking! These chocolate cups look really amazing. Thats a dessert as I love it. Easy to make with a spectacular look. The handpainted tea cup looks very springy and sweet. By the way, could the flower be a sweet pea? Thank you for sharing the lovely tea time and the nice idea with the sweets.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  6. HI Kitty
    Tea with you each week is always a pleasure because you serve some neat desserts. I've seen plain chocolate cups before but these are fun and with a light mousse inside, not too filling, I'm sure.

  8. Kitty, your chocolate dessert cups look wonderful! I use your method of using the tip cut off a baggie for icing cupcakes ever since my piping gadget broke. Those bags can be used for much more than just storing food and sandwiches.;) I really like the pretty green teacup. My guess is the flower is a Sweet Pea. Lovely post and thank you for sharing and coming to tea.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  13. Hello Kitty,
    Your great aunt's tea cup is very pretty. I think those might be sweet peas? I have always wondered what it was like to paint your very own china! Your great aunt must be very talented. They look like it to me. And your mousse cups look delicious. I am sure they tasted wonderful.
    Hugs,

  29. The chocolate cups full of mousse look so yummy! The cup and saucer your aunt painted is beautiful. Looks like maybe she painted a sweet pea on it - one of my favorite flowers!

  33. Kitty, this is just the most delightful little dessert tray! I've always wanted to try MAKING chocolate dessert cups. I think I may run down to World Market instead now. Yours are beautiful & the mouse sounds enticing.

    You are so blessed to have inherited your Aunt's hand painted china. My best friend has several that her mother did & they are GORGEOUS!!! Why did this craze die out just before our generation???

    fondly,
    Rett
