Rainbow Mousse Shooters

White Chocolate Rainbow Mousse Shooters | Club Crafted

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with unique ideas. Half the time, I come up with an idea I’m excited about only to find out that it’s been done a hundred times before. Not this time, folks! One of the first questions I ask myself when vetting a recipe idea for the blog is “how can I make this look like a rainbow?” Yes, welcome to the real-life behind the scenes of being a blogger. It’s not as glamorous as it looks! I bought the cutest rainbow shot glass set from Amazon recently, and I wanted to use them to make dessert shooters because HOW FUN DOES THAT SOUND?! 

After some brainstorming, I thought mousse would be perfect for a dessert shooter recipe, and I was even more excited when I thought I could make rainbow mousse shooters! A lot of times, my ideas don’t pan out, so I’m really happy that these cute little desserts came out perfectly. Plus, this is the simplest way you could possibly make mousse because you know how I like to keep things simple around here. 

This white chocolate mousse recipe is only THREE INGREDIENTS! Yup, mixing the food coloring is probably more complicated than the actual recipe. It’s smooth, fluffy and tastes delicious. 

Scroll down for the full recipe card! ??

White chocolate is a hit-or-miss taste for a lot of people, but I personally love it. Because it’s mixed with so much cream in this recipe, the white chocolate is not overpowering at all, which is why I think even non-white chocolate lovers may enjoy it. 

Traditional mousse involves cooking egg yolks. It’s more complicated than I was willing to tackle (though I have made homemade pudding that way before, and it’s delicious), so I went the easy route. I melted white chocolate, mixed in hot cream, cooled it and then folded in whipped cream. As it sets in the fridge, the mixture turns from thin white chocolate to creamy mousse, similar to the consistency of pudding. Topped with a tiny bit of whipped cream, or in other cases fresh fruit, this white chocolate mousse will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth without overdoing it. 

Here’s how I achieved this rainbow shooters look! 

Step 1: Prepare white chocolate mousse recipe according to below recipe card. Once the whipped cream is folded into the white chocolate, separate the mixture into five separate bowls. 

Step 2: Add one color to each bowl and mix well. Use several drops of coloring to achieve darker, brighter colors. Then move to the fridge for at least one hour before piping into containers.

Step 3: Remove the set mousse from the fridge and transfer each color to its own pastry bag or ziplock bag. Cut off the tip of the bags and carefully pipe sections of one color at a time into tall shot glasses or similar containers. Lightly tap the containers after each color to settle the layer before continuing with the next. 

Step 4: If desired, leave a little room at the top of the glasses for a small dollop of whipped cream – the cloud at the end of the rainbow, you might say. Top with colorful sprinkles and chill until firm and ready to serve. 

Be sure to keep the shooters chilled until you’re ready to serve them in order for the mousse to stay firm. Serve with mini spoons, and I’m sure you’re going to love them! I would love to serve these as a cute little dessert for a party.

      Hi Zalika! The recipe could certainly work as a cold tart filling with a pre-baked tart shell but it would be difficult to show rainbow layers that way.

      Hi Tamara! Sorry the recipe is causing you trouble! As far as the separating, I can only guess that it is either an issue with the type of coloring (I’d recommend a gel coloring) or maybe the chocolate mixture wasn’t cool enough when mixed. I haven’t experienced this issue, but white chocolate can be difficult to work with sometimes. With some types of recipes, continuous mixing can fix the separation. Good luck!

    Do these have alcohol in them? I want to make these for my daughter’s unicorn themed birthday party.

      Hi Cristina! The mousse should keep well overnight. Just wait until serving to add whipped cream.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
