Strawberries Filled Chocolate Cups
(from missyserene’s recipe box)
Now, here is another trick, on a hot weather, this thin chocolate might melt under your fingers, so use tweezers and be very patient! I made these before in winter and had no problems with either collapsing or melting.

- Dark chocolate
Directions

To make chocolate cups:
-
Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler. Using a painting brush spread layer of chocolate over the inside of a small paper cup. Place in the freezer. Repeat. While spreading the second layer, your cup might collapse due to the weight of chocolate. To prevent this, if you are using cups size of a mini cupcake pan, put your cups in it and if you are using even smaller cups, as I did :), buy a bunch of stacks of cups and don’t take a single cup from the stack until you are done with both layers. When your cups are cooled and chocolate settled, remove paper cup.
-
Puree strawberries in a blender. Beat heavy cream. Add strawberry puree and sugar and mix just until it is nicely incorporated. I have added 5 tablespoons of sugar, but you do this to your taste. Start with one tablespoon, than taste, continue adding it until you’re satisfied.

Fill your cups with strawberry cream, sprinkle with some edible glitter (kisses Minja!) and put in a fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
