Chocolate bowl filler?

I would fill it with chocolate mousse and top the mousse with whipped cream.

EDIT: This is the recipe I use for chocolate mousse. You will probably have to double or triple the recipe depending on the size of your chocolate bowl. I believe this recipe makes 8, 1/2 cup.servings, but it has been a while since I made it.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream

10-12 oz Bittersweet Chocolate (60-63% cocoa will do nicely

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, Chambord or Kahlua, optional

Directions

1. Mix chilled whipping cream at medium speed until the cream just starts to hold stiff peaks. Continue beating until clumpy or very stiff peaks are formed. Make sure you do not over whip it to the point where it turns to butter.

2. Chop the chocolate into the smallest pieces that you can manage. The smaller the pieces are, the lower the total temperature will have to be to melt all of the chocolate. You can substitute a bag of 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate, but it won't be as good.

3. Utilizing a double-boiler system, melt the chocolate over simmering water. Chocolate can be temperamental at times, and the use of a double-boiler will allow you to melt the chocolate in a consistent manner. When I used the bag of chocolate chips, the chocolate did not melt into a very smooth texture. It just did not work as well as the cut up 10 pound chocolate bar that I normally use.

4. Pour the melted chocolate into the whipped cream and fold in the chocolate into the whipped cream. Do as little mixing of the chocolate mousse as you can possibly stand to do. Your electric mixer went through a lot of effort to add air to the cream that you just whipped up. Do not ruin the efforts of your mixer by letting all of the air out when combining the whipped cream and melted chocolate.

5. Evenly divide the mousse into eight dessert dishes or stemmed goblets or chill in the bowl. Top with whipped cream.

5. Chill for at least one hour or up to 4 hours.

This is link to a chocolate mousse recipe that uses Coolwhip and is also very easy, but you have three variations here. Don't worry about the fact the recipe says to serve it on spoons, serving it in chocolate bowl will be fine. This recipe should make 3 or 4 cups, but you can measure the Cool whip and figure how much you will need before you start the recipe.
