Homemade Chocolate Cups
As a last minute dessert idea I had totally forgotten about one of my favorite desserts. Whether for Valentine’s Day or another special occasion these Homemade Chocolate Cups come together quickly. Plus they’re fun to make and fun to eat.
I created a video years ago and while it’s 4 minutes long after being condensed once before I decided to share it anyway. In the video I give you specific instructions that will insure your chocolate cups turn out perfect.
All you need are a few ingredients which I have listed below this video with photos, and step by step instructions.
Step by Step instructions:
10 ounces dark chocolate chips
Carefully peel the deflated balloons from the chocolate cups, and patch any holes with the remaining chocolate.
If desired, heat up some white chocolate to drizzle over the hardened chocolate cup for more pizazz!
Return the chocolate cups to the refrigerator until ready to use.
Note: You can make the chocolate cups up to 5 days ahead. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To Serve: Fill chocolate cups with your favorite treat. Such as:
- Frozen vanilla yogurt, Heath bar, non-pariels, topped with chocolate sauce and whipping cream.
- Strawberry, Raspberry or Chocolate Mousse
- Favorite Candy
- Homemade ice cream
- fresh berries

Fun and easy to make :-)) I would love mine filled with some creamy mousse or curd!
I’d love that as well. Hope your Valentine’s Day was great!
These are so fun! I’ve seen this technique but still haven’t gotten around to trying it….my family would love these filled with mousse 🙂
Oh you should Liz. It’s very simple and can be prepared days in advance and then filled the day of or just before serving.
Neat dish! And such a FUN recipe. Thanks!
Anytime. I hope you try them and have fun filling then with your favorite treat!
