White Chocolate Mousse topped with just a dot of raspberry sauce and a single berry got rave reviews at a recent birthday party. I wanted an easy dessert that could be made in advance, was naturally gluten free and could be served in small portions on a buffet.
Chocolate mousse is what I decided on and I created a festive and fun presentation. I served three variations in a variety of liqueur glasses displayed on pedestal trays with little signs. I found those tiny disposable spoons at the Dollar Store and I recommend you buy them when you see them. They’re perfect to serve with mousse shots.

Although mousse and pudding are similar in texture, mousse is light and fluffy. The lightness comes from whipping air into the mixture and is achieved by folding whipped egg whites or whipped cream into the base mixture. I think you can do whatever you want so if you prefer pudding and serve it in a shot glass everyone will eat it.
I only have a dozen shot glasses so I borrowed some. The glasses with the polka dots, a Dollar Store find from, were perfect for this white chocolate mousse.
This was a holiday party so my red charger plates were perfect. While reorganizing the fridge I found a jar of my homemade raspberry syrup from August so a dot of this raspberry syrup on my White Chocolate Mousse was perfect. I topped it off with a single frozen raspberry on top of each mousse shot.
From my bartender days I think shot glasses have marks for measuring 1 or 1½ ounces. Then shot glasses became trendy so there are no rules and plenty of options. I’ve had my set of twelve liqueur glasses for years and I borrowed more from my friends so I had enough for my dessert buffet.
