Chocolate Dessert Cups

These cute chocolate dessert cups are the perfect bite size treat to follow any meal. You can really experiment with them too, which is always fun. I made two different kinds: the first one I filled with sliced strawberries and topped with whipped cream, a strawberry slice, and garnished with chocolate. The next one I filled with cheesecake filling, and topped with either a strawberry or chocolate garnish. The end result is not only cute, but also absolutely delish. See below for the how-to.

Basic Ingredients/Instructions:

For the strawberry cups, you will need chocolate candy melts. I used light cocoa and dark cocoa. You will also need the ‘cup’ candy molds (candy molds are awesome!)… you can find these items at your local Michael’s or Jo-Ann’s store. You will also need strawberries, whip cream, and a fine grater (if you want to garnish the dessert). 

Make the chocolate cups following the instructions on the back of the package. Once they are ready just fill with the sliced strawberries, top with the whip cream, a strawberry slice (because it looks pretty!), and then garnish with chocolate. {Just take one of the chocolate morsels and grate with your fine grater, over the cups}.

To make the cheesecake filled cups, you will need to make a cheesecake. I just whipped up a quick one using Jello’s no-bake cheesecake mix. Once it was finished I just scooped the cheesecake (including some of the yummy crust) into the cups. I also decided to top with some pieces of heath that I had on hand, but that is up to you. Have fun with it!
