Description
Getting to see all the foodie groups in face book with posts of these chocolate cups made. I had added this to my to do list. Finally made it when my parents and dads friend and his family dropped in for lunch. The recipe was so very easy with great results. I was not confident at all about pulling this of as my inner instincts kept telling me it’s not going to work out. The moment of truth was when I had to remove the silicon molds carefully out of the set chocolate cups. When done, I did do a dance jumping up in joy. Now chocolate has been added to my experimenting list for new and old recipes to be tried out. From then till date, it’s been a recipe I rely on when pressed for time to do desserts. The best part being, you can fill the cups with any thing possible letting you be more creative on every attempt. An apt recipe to be made with kids and beginners. The joy in eating the chocolate cups sure does bring a spark to elders, youngsters and kids with no difference at all.
Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Morde dark chocolate compound chopped | 1 cup |
| Morde white compound chocolate chopped | 1 cup |
| Silicon molds | few |
Method
- Place the chopped dark and white chocolate compounds in separate clean microwave safe bowls.
- Microwave for one minute each one at a time. Remove and mix well to with a dry spoon to get a gooey mass of chocolate with no lumps.
- Pour one small ladle into silicone molds of choice. Turn and roll the chocolate all over by rotating the molds making sure the chocolate has coated all over well evenly.
- Pour the excess out into the melted chocolate. Do the same until all the chocolate has been used up.
- Place the silicon molds in the refrigerator for one hour to set.
- Repeat the same with white chocolate. Remove the set molds just before serving. Carefully peel the silicon molds to get chocolate cups.
- Fill the cups with any sweet treat of choice and surprise your loved ones with bliss.
Notes
- Make sure there is no water in the chocolate, the vessels or spoon used. It’s very important as the chocolate does not set.
- I have filled the cups with cake, mixed fruits, custard and nuts. Choice is yours with ice cream, any pudding etc..
- You can de-mould the cups, fill and place in the refrigerator ahead. remove from refrigerator just before serving as these cups tend to melt due to humidity.
- Get creative and make marble cups with a mix of both white and dark chocolate together.
