Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cacao)
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoons Butter
- 100 grams Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare a muffin tin or silicone muffin cups by cleaning them thoroughly and setting them aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the chocolate to give the cups a shiny finish when set.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 15-20 second increments, stirring well each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Using a spoon, coat the inside of each muffin cup or silicone mold with a thick, even layer of melted chocolate. Ensure the sides are well-coated to form a sturdy cup.
Place the molds in the refrigerator to set for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
While the chocolate cups are setting, wash and pat dry the strawberries and blueberries. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, if desired.
Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove the chocolate cups from the molds. Handle them gently to avoid breaking.
Fill each chocolate cup with a mixture of strawberries and blueberries. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness and aesthetic appeal.
Garnish each cup with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful, edible creation!
