Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Prepare a muffin tin by lining 6 of the cavities with paper liners or silicone molds.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate, ensuring all the chocolate is covered. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the chocolate mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until smooth and glossy. Ensure that all chocolate pieces are melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
Divide the chocolate mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin cavities, filling each one about 3/4 full.
Tap the muffin tin gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate cups to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the chocolate cups from the liners or molds and serve. You can garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries if desired.
