A smooth, rich caramel fills homemade chocolate cups for a decadent dessert. These are great for entertaining or potlucks. Ingredients:
1 cup (6 ounces) dark chocolate chips |
2 teaspoons shortening |
filling: |
3 tablespoons sugar |
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup coffee liqueur |
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder |
14 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped |
chocolate-covered coffee beans |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Using a narrow pastry brush, brush the inside of eighteen 2-in. foil muffin cup liners with 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm. Repeat layers twice. Chill until set.
2. In a large heavy skillet, cook sugar over medium-low heat until melted and turns a golden amber color. Gradually stir in cream; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add liqueur and espresso powder; stir until smooth. Stir in white chocolate until melted. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until slightly thickened.
3. Carefully remove and discard foil liners from chocolate cups. Spoon or pipe filling into cups; garnish with coffee beans. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
