The perfect party pick me up, milk chocolate mousse shots are creamy, delicious and extremely good looking, also perfectly portion in single servings.

Happy Mousse Monday my friends! We haven’t had a dessert on Peas & Peonies in almost a week. WOW that is a long time, so to keep it fairly tame for a Monday, and not induce you in a sugar coma I am bringing to you Milk Chocolate Mousse Shots that are small enough to pass as a snack! Yeeees!

milk chocolate mousse shotsI have always been obsessed with creamy desserts, but since I made my own mousse, I became even more obsessed. I love the irresistible creamy texture and the mild chocolate flavor from the chocolate milk. This dessert is so smooth and it’s perfect for a party. I just pumped the mousse into shot glasses, topped with fresh homemade whipped cream and some unsweetened cocoa to enhance the chocolate flavor and here you go – you have milk chocolate mousse shots – the perfect little dessert. Call it sweet finger food!

And when the servings are so tiny, you know what they say, its basically calorie free, you can just have a few instead of a cocktail 🙂 and its a perfect idea to make it in a few flavors so people can choose from or if you make a dessert table, these are perfectly portioned, won’t get you full so you have room to try other things.

You can spice these milk chocolate mousse shots up with some booze, and if you plan on serving them to children, just divide the batter in half, and leave one half alcohol free. These are particularly good flavored with some Godiva or Baileys liqueur, I like them with the Chocolate Cherry Baileys, it adds such a nice aroma!

milk chocolate mousse shotsThe recipe makes a good serving of mousse, so you can cut it down in half, or you can use shots and small jars, in case someone wants to eat more mousse, and I am sure there would be people who would love a bigger serving! Or you can just go ahead make some brownies and top them with mousse, just like I did here <——- a MUST try!

Cuisine: French
Ingredients
  • 10 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2½ cups whipping cream, chilled
  • 7 grams gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons liqueur or cognac for a boozy version - optional
  • whipped cream - to garnish
  • cocoa powder - to garnish
Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of water to boil, place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt over the pot of simmering water. When melted, remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, place gelatin and water, allow the gelatin to bloom, let sit for 10 minuets.
  3. In the meantime, in a sauce pan, bring ½ cup of cream to a boil.
  4. If using alcohol, place in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the liqueur until hot, about 45 seconds. Stir in the softened gelatin until dissolved. Add the gelatin mixture to the cream, stir to fully incorporate the gelatin. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour about half of the cream mixture into the chocolate and whisk quickly, add the rest of the chocolate and whisk until well combined. The mixture will be very smooth and shiny.
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire attachment, place the remaining 2 cups of cream and whisk until soft peaks form.
  7. When the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature, fold in the whipped cream manually using a spatula.
  8. Fill shot glasses and small jars with the mousse. Place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  9. Before serving, top with whipped cream and unseated cocoa powder.
  10. Enjoy!
