Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Mousse:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For the Raspberry Layer:

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Crust:

1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

      - Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms of serving cups (e.g., mini glasses or small jars). Place the cups in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the mousse.

        Make the Raspberry Layer:

          - In a small blender or food processor, blend the fresh raspberries with honey (or maple syrup) and lemon juice until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, if desired. Set aside.

            Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:

              - In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave (in 30-second increments), stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

                - In a separate mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

                  - Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully integrated and fluffy.

                    Assemble the Cups:

                      - Start by adding a layer of the raspberry mixture over the crust in each cup.

                        - Next, spoon a generous layer of the chocolate mousse over the raspberry layer, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

                          - Repeat the layers for each cup, finishing with a mousse layer on top.

                            - Optional: Drizzle remaining raspberry puree over the mousse for a decorative touch.

                              Chill and Serve:

                                - Cover the assembled mousse cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight if possible for the best flavor.

                                  - Before serving, garnish each cup with fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
