So I made mousse twice in one week.
That’s kind of weird because I don’t ever make mousse.
Strange things are happening.
These little cookie cups are kind of perfect. I am usually not a fruit in dessert person.
Fruit, on its own…totally fine.
But fruit isn’t dessert to me. It’s health food. I’m not one of those people who can convince myself that an apple is just as good as a slice of cake.
Seriously now.
So yeah, not only did I make mousse TWICE. I put fruit in my mousse.
Fruit in my mousse. Snort.
Check your pulse folks. Has the world ended? Is it opposite day? What is HAPPENING to me?
But trust me on this. I love you guys. I’d catch a grenade for ya and all that. This is most definitely not a fruit-dessert fail.
Although there are strawberries in that-there cookie cup, it’s still hard core.
I mean, about as hard core as a strawberry can be.
I’d throw my hand on a blade for ya.
Believe.
This is a total cheat cookie too. Buy sugar cookie in a tube. It’s ok, do it.
First make your mousse. It’s the same recipe that I used HERE. It’s totally versatile.
Chop up some strawberries.
Fold those sweeties in and see how happy it makes them.
Bake your cookies in a mini muffin tin…
…then add some white chocolate in there to get all melty.
Fill the cookie cups with the strawberry mousse and eat on!
Prepare to be shocked at how hard you are gonna love those strawberries.
Strawberry Mousse Sugar Cookie Cups
Description
makes approx 30 cookie cups
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temp
- 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup chopped strawberries, plus more for garnish *optional
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 (16.5 oz) tube sugar cookie dough
Instructions
- With your electric mixer beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth, about 30 seconds. Carefully stir in your Cool Whip. When combined fold in your chopped strawberries.
- Place bowl in refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 ° and spray mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of cookie dough into each muffin tin.
- Bake for 8 minutes until they are just starting to golden.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 4-5 white chocolate chips in each cup. The heat from the cookies will melt them. As soon as the chips are soft spread carefully in the bottom of the cookie cup.
- Release the cookies from the muffin tin by loosening with a knife. Let cool on a wire rack until ready to fill.
- When ready to fill the cups, use either a spoon or a piping bag (or ziplock) and fill each with about one teaspoon of mousse.
- Garnish with a strawberry slice, if desired.
Notes
Store in refrigerator after assembled or until ready to eat.
Recipe adapted from Joy’s Hope
I am exactly the same way, fruit in desert just seems weird, but you know I am trying new things, so you never know.
NICE, I like this idea. Now I’d like to make little dark chocolate cookie cups w a raspberry mousse! Thank you for the inspiration
LOVE these! Super duper cute!
YOU crack me up….EVERY time!!!
These are totally health food. I think I’ll eat 12. Sounds about right.
I make cookie cups more often than I care to admit. This filling looks awesome!
Silly question, but neither your instruction nor photos indicate that the dough needs to be pressed against the sides of the muffin tin. Does it not need to be done in this recipe? Can’t wait to make this! Thanks for sharing!
Not a silly question! My husband asked me the same thing. You don’t have to press it in. When the cookie dough bakes it puffs up and then when they cool the center settles back down. Hope that makes sense 🙂
These need to be in my belly. Awesome.
Just so cute!
That song cracks me up! ..but so did your post! I’m thinking a lot about strawberries these days, and these look delicious. 🙂
So perfect! I love how light and cheery this is for spring and easy…Cool whip, cream cheese, tube of cookie dough. SMART!!!!
