Steps:
- Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and put a cookie in the bottom of each cup. Whisk the eggs, sugar, salt and water in a large heatproof bowl. Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan and set the bowl on top (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until pale, fluffy and very thick (like a thick pudding), 25 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of your bowl. Remove from the heat and whisk in the melted chocolate; let cool.
- Beat 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with the sour cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain, then divide evenly among the muffin cups. Cover and refrigerate until set, 12 hours or overnight.
- Run an offset spatula around each mousse cup to loosen and slide the spatula under the cookie; remove the mousse cups. (If they're too soft to remove, freeze briefly.) Beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form, then dollop onto the mousse cups and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.

Then spoon about 2 tps. of the chocolate into each paper cup. Then with back of small measuring spoon spread the chocoalte upthe side to within 1/8 inch of the top. The chocolate shoudl be warm enough to spread. Then refrigerate for about 20 min or until fully set.

Return to the microwave about 30 seconds more or until chips are melted. Then stirmin the peppermint extract & food coloring.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the mousse will taste. Use real cream, butter, and chocolate for the best results.
- Make sure the cream is cold: Cold cream will whip up better and create a lighter, fluffier mousse. Chill the cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before whipping it.
- Whip the cream gradually: Start whipping the cream on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help prevent the cream from over-whipping and becoming grainy.
- Do not over-mix the mousse: Once the whipped cream is combined with the chocolate mixture, stir just until combined. Over-mixing will deflate the mousse and make it less fluffy.
- Chill the mousse before serving: This will help the mousse to set and develop its full flavor. Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving.
