Simple Chocolate Dream Cups

by

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

  1. Begin by melting the chocolate chips to create the base of your dream cups. You can do this using a double boiler or a microwave. For the double boiler method, place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir gently until smooth and fully melted. If using a microwave, heat the chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
  2. Once melted, use a brush or the back of a spoon to coat the inside of your silicone muffin cups or dessert cups with chocolate. Make sure to cover them evenly. Set the remaining melted chocolate aside for later use.
  3. Chill the coated cups in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 3: Assemble the Dream Cups

  1. Take the set chocolate cups out of the refrigerator. If you’re using silicone muffin cups, carefully remove the chocolate shells from the silicone.
  2. Fill each chocolate cup with the whipped cream mixture. You can either spoon it in or use a piping bag for a more polished look.
  3. Drizzle the tops with the reserved melted chocolate for a decorative effect.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

  1. Garnish each cup with fresh berries and a mint leaf for a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.
  2. Refrigerate the cups until you’re ready to serve. They’re best enjoyed chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
