Chocolate Mousse with sour cream??

My local grocery has been selling mousses of various flavors that contain both cream and sour cream. They are delicious, especially the chocolate. i read the ingredients but it's the process I don't know how to replicate... I know true chocolate mousse doesn't have sour cream, but I figured this might be some shortcut recipe I'd find all over the internet. Nope! It's nowhere to be found, and I just find it so delicious I'd like to make it at home and play with the flavors.
Does anyone know how to make something like this?

    a couple of ideas...
    http://www.grouprecipes.com/37367/dou... and you can do all chocolate, dark instead of milk if you prefer.

    OR

    300 g dark (or semi-sweet) chocolate
    50 grams icing sugar
    375 g sour cream
    2 cups heavy whipping cream
    (you can also cut back on the sour cream by half and add an equivalent volume of cream

    )

    melt choc. cool slightly. mix sour cream with sugar. fold in chocolate. beat cream til stiff. fold in and chill.

      Try this one but w/ sour cream instead of creme fraiche:

      I think you can take any chocolate mousse recipe, ones w/ whipped egg whites, too, mix the sour cream w/ melted chocolate and proceed.

          Thanks, this was the only recipe I could find too, but the ingredients were off-putting. Not the gelatin but the cream cheese...

          But I didn't know I could sub sour cream for cream... Will this work in other applications? I wonder...
