Mascarpone and Dark Chocolate Cream in White Chocolate Cups
recipe modified from food network

8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

line 8 muffin cups with paper liners. melt white chocolate, and brush melted chocolate on the bottom and sides of the liners. freeze until the chocolate sets (about half an hour). melt 4 ounces of the semisweet chocolate until smooth, then set aside to cool. beat the cream and sugar with a mixer until soft peaks form. in another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, melted chocolate, and vanilla until smooth (about thirty seconds). fold whipped cream into the mixture. put into a pastry bag and pipe into the white chocolate cups. melt the remaining one ounce of semisweet chocolate until smooth, then drizzle over the completed cups.

improvements: the cups turned out much too big. a bite-sized form would have been much better.
