After Dinner Liqueur Chocolate Cups Recipes

AFTER DINNER LIQUEUR CHOCOLATE CUPS

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over low heat in small saucepan or in microwave until smooth.
• Brush insides of foil cups with chocolate to within 1/8 inch of top.
• Repeat until chocolate is about 1/8 inch thick.
• Refrigerate cups for 10 minutes.
• Brush another layer of chocolate over first layer.
• Refrigerate until very firm.
• Carefully peel liners from chocolate and store covered in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
• Just before serving, fill with your favorite liqueur.

CHOCOLATE CUPS WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil.
• In blender or food processor combine egg, sugar, a pinch of salt, semisweet chips, and liqueur. Run processor or turn on blender to low setting. Pour in boiling milk in a slow stream. The hot milk will cook egg and melt chocolate. Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth.
• Spoon chocolate into 4 demitasse cups and chill. After dinner, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add a little sugar and beat to combine. Top the chocolate cups with a dollop of cream and garnish each cup with mint sprigs.
• Place cups on saucers and serve with demitasse spoons. If you use teacups, this recipe will yield 2 cups, rather than 4.
