I tried a new mousse recipe, fairly simple with mango nectar, unflavored gelatin, lime juice, and cool whip. It had good consistency and my wife liked the flavor but I thought it was a little bland, still cool and refreshing. This recipe called for some food coloring in the mousse. The picture doesn't show well but it's a light salmon color, there may be enough color contrast to use a white chocolate truffle as the pearl. I used pie crust again for the cookie but brushed it with egg white and sprinkled on some pink sugar crystals - I don't think the sugar added any elegance. The mousse was substantially thicker than the last batch but still would not hold the cookie upright, I need to redesign my ceramic shell to include a little "easel" on the back to hold the up cookie. Here's a picture of my latest attempt:
