Wash the balloons well and inflate them to the size of a large egg.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Let the chocolate cool slightly before dipping the balloons.

Dip the balloons in the melted chocolate, ensuring to cover the sides.

Place the dipped balloons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 10-15 minutes.

Pop the balloons carefully and remove them from the chocolate shells.

Prepare the white chocolate mousse by simmering 1/3 cup of heavy cream.

Beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually add the hot cream.

Cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, then pour over white chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

Whip the remaining heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the white chocolate mixture.

Refrigerate the mousse until set, at least one hour.

Fill the chocolate cups with the white chocolate mousse and top with a raspberry.
