Hot Chocolate Favours

I know it's spring and I should be writing about spring / summer related favours but I can't help myself. Unless it's 40 degrees outside, it's rare I'd turn down a hot chocolate. Pour a little Baileys in it and I'll be your friend forever!

I saw these and immediately fell in love. How great would these be for a winter wedding (too late for me, but maybe one of you??), a winter bridal shower or anything between the months of October - late March!

Tell me, are you as in love with these fancy little guys as I am?

Recipe Friday...Apricot & Raspberry Frozen Mousse

I am so glad it's Friday! I have weekend planned starting with a trip to Clarity MedSpa tomorrow morning. I'll tell you about my treatment next week.

Now onto today's yummy recipe courtisy of Style at Home. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

• 3 eggs

• 3 egg yolks

• 3/4 cup (150 grams) sugar

• 1/3 cup (100 grams) apricot puree

• 2 cups (450 ml) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

• 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) raspberries

• 1 tbsp sugar

Directions
1 Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

2 Puree the raspberries and the sugar and set them aside.

3 Place the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Place the bowl over a water bath and whip the eggs and sugar mixture for about 5 minutes until they thicken. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and continue whipping in high speed until the eggs have cooled. It will be thick. Fold in the apricot puree, followed by the soft peak cream.

4 Transfer the cream to a glass or metal baking dish or small jars. Spoon in some of the raspberry puree and make swirls through the apricot cream with a spoon or wooden skewer.

5 Transfer to the freezer and serve frozen.

How yummy does that look?!

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
