• Pipe 5 to 7 lines of red chocolate over the top surface of the white chocolate.
• Dip one balloon into the bowl of chocolate to cover about 2/3rd's of the balloon.

• Set the balloon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Repeat by piping the same number of red stripes over the bowl of white chocolate.
• Dip another balloon.

• If using pure white chocolate, refrigerate the balloons until the chocolate sets.
• If using Candy Melts, place the balloons in the freezer for about 3 minutes.
• Remove and let sit for one minute.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CUPS

Steps:

• Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and put a cookie in the bottom of each cup. Whisk the eggs, sugar, salt and water in a large heatproof bowl. Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan and set the bowl on top (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until pale, fluffy and very thick (like a thick pudding), 25 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of your bowl. Remove from the heat and whisk in the melted chocolate; let cool.
• Beat 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with the sour cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain, then divide evenly among the muffin cups. Cover and refrigerate until set, 12 hours or overnight.
• Run an offset spatula around each mousse cup to loosen and slide the spatula under the cookie; remove the mousse cups. (If they're too soft to remove, freeze briefly.) Beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form, then dollop onto the mousse cups and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.
