Halloween Chocolate Mousse Cups

Made with just two main ingredients—rich melted chocolate and whipped cream—it’s a silky, creamy treat that comes together in minutes. Topped with crushed cookies for a “dirt” effect and a biscuit gravestone, it’s the perfect Halloween dessert that both kids and adults will love.

Chef Giorgos Tsoulis gives this classic chocolate mousse a playful Halloween twist, transforming it into a creative showstopper that’s also vegetarian and gluten-free. Serve it in clear glasses so the layers of mousse and “cookie soil” show through, and watch it disappear long before the party ends.

Simple to make but impressive to serve, this dessert proves that Halloween fun can be as elegant as it is eerie.

Ingredients

• 400 g melted chocolate
• 300 g heavy cream
