How to Make Mousse Filled Witches Hats

  1. **Make the Mousse:** In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  2. Add 4 ounces (113g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the warm cream. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium bowl and let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
  6. Cover the mousse and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
  7. **Melt the Chocolate:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  8. **Assemble the Witches' Hats:** Dip the pointed end of each chocolate sugar cone into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  9. Place the dipped cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
  10. Once the chocolate is set, carefully spoon the chilled chocolate mousse into each cone, filling them almost to the top.
  11. Top each filled cone with a small chocolate wafer or a candy of your choice.
  12. Invert the cones onto a serving platter and sprinkle generously with Halloween sprinkles.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the mousse to chill.
