Description

These Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Bites are delightful bite-sized desserts featuring a rich and fluffy chocolate mousse center with a sweet raspberry jam filling. Each mousse disc is coated in a smooth layer of melted chocolate and beautifully decorated with edible glitter, dried rose petals, or sprinkles. Perfect as elegant, no-bake treats for parties or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Mousse Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark, depending on preference)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Raspberry Filling

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups melted chocolate chips (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Dried rose petals
  • Edible glitter or sugar sprinkles
  • Extra melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Make the Chocolate Mousse: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth. Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream together with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream: Gently fold the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy. Refrigerate the mousse for 30 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
  4. Shape Mousse Discs: Take small spoonfuls of the firm mousse and form them into bite-sized discs using a mini silicone mold or by hand, ensuring even shapes for consistent bites.
  5. Add Raspberry Filling: Place a small dollop of raspberry jam in the center of each mousse disc, then press the top gently to seal and secure the jam inside. Freeze the prepared bites for at least 1 hour to solidify.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips with the optional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and ready for dipping.
  7. Coat the Mousse Bites: Remove the mousse bites from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray.
  8. Decorate: While the coating is still wet, decorate the bites with dried rose petals, edible glitter, or sugar sprinkles. Optionally drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for a beautiful finish.
  9. Set and Serve: Let the coated mousse bites set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes before serving to ensure a firm chocolate shell.

Notes

  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and ensure your chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
  • The optional coconut oil in the coating helps melt the chocolate smoothly and gives a shinier finish.
  • You can swap raspberry jam for any other fruit preserves to vary the flavor.
  • Store the mousse bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Be gentle when folding the chocolate into the whipped cream to maintain the light mousse texture.
