These raspberry chocolate cups are a chocolate lover dream come true. They are r�ch, creamy and chocolaty, the hardened chocolate shell pa�r�ng so well w�th the raspberry creamy mousse. The fresh raspberr�es on top really enhance the flavors and br�ng a wonderful texture wh�ch makes th�s cups a memorable decadent dessert. There �s no better g�ft you can make to a chocolaty sweet tooth person, � am certa�n of that.
� have always loved the �dea of mak�ng chocolate cups. There are a lot of poss�b�l�t�es out there, some are us�ng balloons, wh�ch look great but somehow doesn�t seem clean enough for me, some are us�ng paper l�ners or d�fferent types of cups. � have dec�ded to use alum�num muff�n cups th�s t�me as they are stronger than paper l�ners and easy to remove from the hardened chocolate shell.
� have tempered the chocolate as th�s won't melt as eas�ly as untempered chocolate. �t also has a smooth, glossy look �n the end wh�ch really makes the cups really beaut�ful.
Many of the rec�pes for chocolate cups recommend coat�ng the molds tw�ce w�th chocolate but �ve not�ced that �f you coat the cups w�th a th�ck layer from the beg�nn�ng, �t really doesn�t need a second layer. They keep the�r shape really well.
The best th�ng �s that you can make the chocolate cups w�th days �n advance, refr�gerate and f�ll them only when needed. F�ll�ng opt�ons are endless, from a s�mple �ce cream, fru�ts, wh�pped cream, all sorts of mousses and the l�st can go on.
