Christmas Berry Chocolate Cups
Planning a romantic Christmas date and want to prepare an elegant dessert? With the Geedel food chopper to handle the chocolate, you can create these stunning berry cups in just 15 minutes. A crisp chocolate shell filled with creamy berries—pure romance in every bite!
Ingredients
- 100g dark chocolate
- 150ml heavy cream
- 6 fresh strawberries
- 20g blueberries
- 15g dried cranberries
- 15g white sugar (divided)
- A few mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Chop the Chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and place them in the vegetable chopper. Press twice to create fine, even crumbs (this method is faster and more uniform than hand-chopping, and the smaller pieces melt more quickly over a double boiler, preventing the chocolate from overheating and seizing).
Transfer the chocolate crumbs to a heatproof bowl and melt over gently simmering water (around 40°C).
Spoon the melted chocolate into silicone cup molds, swirling to evenly coat the insides.
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set into crisp chocolate cups.
2. Prepare the Berries
Hull the strawberries and place them in the veggie chopper along with the blueberries and dried cranberries. Use the ‘slicing blade’ and press gently to slice the fruits evenly.
Transfer the mixed berries to a bowl, sprinkle with a little sugar, and let them macerate for 5 minutes to enhance their natural sweetness.
3. Assemble the Dessert
In a clean, grease-free bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes at high speed).
Remove the set chocolate cups from the fridge. Pipe or spoon a layer of whipped cream into each cup, followed by a layer of the macerated berries. Repeat the layers once more.
Top each cup with a whole strawberry and a fresh mint leaf for a festive finish.
Conclusion
These Christmas Berry Chocolate Cups are the perfect romantic dessert—visautiful, delicious, and effortlessly elegant. Using the Geedel vegetable chopper, you can create this restaurant-worthy treat in just 15 minutes. Even baking beginners can achieve impressive results, making your Christmas date night extra special and romantic!
