Steps
- Melt 10 oz of white melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth (about 1 to 2 minutes).
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to fill the 3D skull silicone mold with the melted white chocolate, rotating to ensure even coating. Repeat 2-3 times, allowing each layer to set slightly.
- Transfer filled molds to the freezer for 10 minutes, or until chocolate is firm. Remove skulls from the molds and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Gently crack the back of each skull for openings; rustic looks are encouraged for character.
- In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, blend 4 oz of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup of confectioner’s sugar, and ½ tsp of vanilla until smooth.
- Melt ¼ cup of white chocolate chips and fold into the cream cheese mixture, then gently incorporate the whipped cream.
- Cover the mousse and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and ease of piping.
- Once chilled, use a piping bag to fill each chocolate skull with the mousse, creating swirls on top. Chill again for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Allow the filled chocolate skulls to chill before serving to enhance flavor and presentation. They can be made ahead of time for convenience.
