Instructions
Chocolate cups: In the small saucepan, heat candy coating until melted. Stir in shortening until the mixture is smooth and blended.
Separate the removable base from the cup and stem section of each plastic glass. Fill each hollow stem with candy coating, then use the pastry brush to brush candy coating over the inside of each cup. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
Brush a second layer of candy coating on the inside of each cup. Refrigerate until set.
Invert the plastic base of each glass. Fill each base with melted candy coating and level with a knife. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
Carefully remove the chocolate cups with stems from the plastic glasses. Carefully remove each chocolate base from the plastic base. With the remaining melted candy coating, attach the bottom of each chocolate stem to the top of a chocolate base.
Raspberry mousse: In a large bowl, stir the boiling water and gelatin until dissolved.
Add ice cubes; stir until melted.
Press raspberries through the sieve and discard the seeds (the raspberry puree should measure about 1/2 cup). Stir raspberry puree into gelatin mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until almost set. Fold in the whipped topping; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cut a hole in the corner of the pastry or plastic bag and insert the star pastry tip. Fill the bag with raspberry mousse. Pipe mousse into each chocolate cup.
Garnish each cup with mint and a raspberry.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Mousse can be paired with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Solera Cream Sherry.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
