What am I going to do with all this cream?!?

I went to the grocery store to get some things for dinner, and I just couldn't remember if I had any cream at home. I decided to play it safe and bought another carton, only to find out I did have some at home after all! Naturally, I started thinking about what sorts of desserts I could make to use up all the cream crowding up the fridge. Creme brulee crossed my mind, but I make that often enough that I wanted to try something different. We also had a friend coming to visit, so I wanted to make something special for her and ended up deciding to make mini chocolate mousse cakes.

I created my recipe for mini chocolate mousse cakes a few years ago and had only made it a few times since then, tweaking it here and there each time. I'm getting closer to perfecting it...perhaps one more attempt and I'll have it where I want it...

Chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse and topped with chocolate ganache. Chocolate overload!
