These raspberry chocolate cups are a chocolate lover dream come true. They are rich, creamy and chocolaty, the hardened chocolate shell pairing so well with the raspberry creamy mousse. The fresh raspberries on top really enhance the flavors and bring a wonderful texture which makes this cups a memorable decadent dessert. There is no better gift you can make to a chocolaty sweet tooth person, I am certain of that. I have always loved the idea of making chocolate cups. There are a lot of possibilities out there, some are using balloons, which look great but somehow doesn’t seem clean enough for me, some are using paper liners or different types of cups. I have decided to use aluminum muffin cups this time as they are stronger than paper liners and easy to remove from the hardened chocolate shell. I have tempered the chocolate as this won't melt as easily as untempered chocolate. It also has a smooth, glossy look in the end which really makes the cups really beautiful. Many of the recipes for chocolate cups recommend coating the molds twice with chocolate but I’ve noticed that if you coat the cups with a thick layer from the beginning, it really doesn’t need a second layer. They keep their shape really well. The best thing is that you can make the chocolate cups with days in advance, refrigerate and fill them only when needed. Filling options are endless, from a simple ice cream, fruits, whipped cream, all sorts of mousses and the list can go on. If you love chocolate desserts, you really shouldn't skip this one. It all worth it.
