Mousse-Filled Witches' Hats - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon shortening
4 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, chopped
1 (4 3/4 ounce) package chocolate ice cream cones (sugar cone)
halloween candy sprinkles
12 thin chocolate wafers (2 1/4-inch diameter)

Preparation

For mousse, in a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup cream to a boil; remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip pointed tips of ice cream cones a third of the way into melted chocolate; roll in sprinkles.
Refrigerate until set.
Just before serving, spoon mousse into cones. Top each with a chocolate wafer. Invert onto a serving platter.
