Ingredients

– 100g heavy cream
– 50g powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions
Creating Dubai Chocolate Cups is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Melt the Chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate and milk chocolate into small pieces. Place them in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until melted. Stir until smooth.
2. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone cupcake molds or mini muffin tins with a little oil or cooking spray. This helps in easy removal later.
3. Coat the Molds: Using a brush or a spoon, coat the inside of the molds with a layer of melted chocolate. Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly.
4. Chill the Coatings: Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
5. Add a Second Layer: Once the first layer is set, apply a second layer of melted chocolate to thicken the walls of the cups. Chill again for another 15 minutes.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. If desired, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor.
7. Fill the Cups: Remove the chocolate cups from the fridge. Carefully peel them out of the molds. Fill each cup with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or crushed nuts as desired.
8. Decorate: Top your filled cups with additional fruits, nuts, or edible decorations like gold leaf or colorful sprinkles.
9. Chill Again: Place the filled cups back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
10. Serve: Once set, your Dubai Chocolate Cups are ready to impress!
