Mini White Chocolate Mousse Holiday Pies

Last week I mentioned that Ryan was preparing for his pre-lim exam. For the exam, he had to give an oral presentation about his past research to a handful of chemistry professors while they grilled him with questions. They also determine if his purposed future research plans are good enough to allow him to continue on with his program. Well, great news – he passed and I’m so proud of him!! I knew he was going to pass, but it feels extremely great now that the pressure is off, and I wasn’t even the one having to do everything for it!

Although Ryan’s pre-lim is over, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is just beginning for us, do things ever slow down?! We have Ryan’s birthday and a christmas party this week, caroling week next, gifts to wrap and then we’re making the long drive back home to be with our families for Christmas.

Between everything that is going on, who has time to be in the kitchen making 40 candy cane oreo balls? Oh yeah, that was me :) While I adore those candy cane oreo balls and I really hope you get a chance to make them, a more practical and time friendly holiday recipe are these no bake mini white chocolate mousse pies!

This recipe will take 45 minutes to make, and you know what? 30 of those minutes are spent waiting for the white chocolate mousse to set in the fridge, which means you could take a nap, prep another recipe, or watch half an episode of Dance Moms :)
