Whipped Marshmallow Fluff Cups

My dear friend started having parties for the TV show Once Upon a Time on ABC, which means you should be expecting creatively themed desserts or hors d'oeuvreeach Sunday until the season is over. In this last week's episode, some interesting changes had occurred. I saw this preview at the end of last week's episode and it inspired me to make something that mirrors the change "from white as snow to dark as night." In the spirit of that, I made these: Snow White's Dark Chocolate Marhsmallow Mousse Cups.
 
The first thing I did, was I took 1 cup heavy whipping cream and whipped it up a bit. I gently added some of the mousse powder that came in the dobla Belgian Chocolate Dessert Kit, about 1/2 the package. Once it got a little thick, I added in a 7 oz. package of Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme and whipped it up to a thick creamy filling. I filled each chocolate cup that came in the dobla Dessert Kit with the mousse in a piping bag with the tip cut off and topped it with a little shaved dark chocolate. The idea behind the whole dessert was that Snow White was the super soft and sweet white cream mousse, and she was inside a dark chocolate cup of anger being topped with dark chocolate.  

All kinds of substitutions could be made on this recipe. For example, smaller cups could be used, such as Dobla Dark Belgian Chocolate Cordial & Toasting Cups, Kirkland Signature Belgian Chocolate Cups, or Lang Chocolates Milk Chocolate Dessert Cups. Any store bought mousse mix could be used and add it in gently until it has the desired consistency (somewhere around 4-5 tbsp) and you have the freedom to use chocolate or a fruit flavored mousse.
