Chocolate Berry Cups
Description
The recipe starts by melting chocolate chips gently in a microwave, stirring frequently to ensure smooth melting. Finely chopped pecans are folded into the melted chocolate to add crunch and nutty flavor. The mixture is spooned into prepared mini muffin cups lined with sturdy aluminum liners which support the soft chocolate as it cools.
Fresh raspberries and blackberries are then placed on top of the chocolate, pressed slightly so they embed into the surface. Some additional melted chocolate is drizzled over the berries to partially cover and secure them. The cups are refrigerated for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens, forming a firm shell that contrasts with the juicy berries inside.
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these chocolate berry cups maintain their texture and flavor for up to three days, making a convenient, elegant snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 12 oz chocolate chips
- ¼ cup pecans finely chopped
- ½ cup raspberry
- ½ cup blackberry
Instructions
- Put chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it by heating it in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Stir pecans into the melted chocolate
- Line a 12 cup mini muffin pan with aluminum liners
- Fill each cup with the melted chocolate
- Top each chocolate-filled cup with berries, pressing them into the chocolate so they are partly submerged
- With a spoon, drizzle any remaining chocolate over the berries
- Refrigerate 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm
- Store the chocolates in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days
Notes
- Using heavier aluminum liners is recommended over paper liners as they better support the chocolate for easier filling and removal.
- Store the finished chocolate berry cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
