Berry Cream Chocolate Cups Recipes

BERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CUPS WITH MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Use a spoon to scoop about a tablespoon of chocolate into one of the silicone cupcake liners and spread it evenly inside the cup. You want it to be a thin layer, with no holes or gaps. Repeat for the rest of the cups and place in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to set.
• Remove the cups from the refrigerator and do another thin layer of chocolate on the inside of each cup. Put them back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to be sure they are hardened.
• While the cups set in the refrigerator, make the mascarpone cream. Add the heavy cream to the bowl of your stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment to whip until soft peaks form. Transfer to a different bowl and set aside.
• In the same bowl of your stand mixer (no need to wash it), add the mascarpone cheese, sugar and vanilla. Use the whisk attachment and whisk until smooth with no lumps.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a rubber spatula. Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and whisk until lump free, but be sure not to over whisk.
• Take the cups out of the refrigerator and carefully remove the chocolate cups from the silicone cupcake liners. Set the cups on a serving tray.
• Spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream into each chocolate cup, filling it about 2/3 of the way full. Fill the cup to overflowing with blueberries and strawberries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately or put them in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
