Recently I bought frozen raspberries, then wondered what to do with them. 'Raspberry Mousse in Chocolate Stripe Tulip Cups' on a website for BC raspberries looked interesting.
Tulip cup dough ready for the ovenI thought the tulip cups might be fun to make. They reminded me of the fortune cookies we watched being made in San Francisco a few years ago, except the thin 'pancakes' for the tulip cups would be formed over the bottom of a jar or cup not bent over a bar like these fortune cookies (below) were.
Fortune cookies & cookie productionWell, my cups browned a little too much around the edges. The raspberry mixture didn't thicken so the mousse didn't turn out quite right. It had too much cream in it for my liking, although I must admit I don't know what is normally in mousse.
The cups with their orange flavour were tasty though. I think I would have preferred them rolled up with just a light coating of the mousse. Unlike fortune cookies, the tulip cups stayed soft. All in all, too fiddly and not rewarding enough to bother with again.
