Ingredients Needed:

• 5 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• 1 package (9.5 ounces) Puff Pastry Cups, prepared according to package directions
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
• 2 ounces white chocolate, melted

How To Make Puff Pastry Chocolate Cups:

1. Spoon the Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of melted semi-sweet chocolate into each puff pastry cup. Set aside the remaining melted semi-sweet chocolate for later.
2. Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the reserved melted semi-sweet chocolate.
3. Fill the Pastry Cups: Spoon or pipe the whipped chocolate mixture into the prepared pastry cups.
4. Drizzle the Chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted semi-sweet chocolate and melted white chocolate over the pastries.

Recipe Tips:

• Chill the Cream: For the best whipped cream texture, make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping. This will help it whip up nicely and hold its shape.
• Use Fresh Puff Pastry: For a crisp and flaky texture, be sure to use fresh, high-quality puff pastry. If using frozen, let it thaw fully before baking.
• Drizzle the Chocolate Gently: When drizzling the chocolate, do it slowly to create a pretty, even drizzle that looks elegant and professional.
• Customize the Fillings: Feel free to get creative with the fillings! Add fruit like raspberries or strawberries to the pastry cups before filling them with chocolate whipped cream for an extra burst of flavor.
