Best Chocolate Cups With Whipped Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a medium pan. Whisk in milk and yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and butter; whisk until melted.
• Pour pudding through a sieve into a heatproof bowl set in an ice-water bath. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold and set, about 40 minutes (up to 2 days).
• Whip cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Divide cold pudding among 4 bowls, and serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE CUPS WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• When planning your menu, make this dessert first to allow these chocolate cups to set and chill.
• 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 the egg and melt the 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.
