Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
  • Sprinkles or finely chopped nuts (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. To make the chocolate cups, melt the milk chocolate chips and vegetable shortening together using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  2. Spoon or brush the melted chocolate into silicone molds, coating the sides generously. Chill until firm, then add a second coat and chill again until fully set.
  3. For the coffee mousse, combine marshmallows and brewed coffee in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows melt and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Once cooled, fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture until smooth and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  5. When ready to serve, carefully remove the chocolate cups from the molds and place on serving plates. Spoon the coffee mousse into each cup, being careful not to overfill.
  6. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use dark chocolate or white chocolate for the cups, depending on your preference.
  • For added flavor, use flavored coffee or stir cocoa powder into the coffee for a mocha twist.
  • Store assembled cups in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but keep them lightly covered to avoid moisture softening the chocolate.
  • Chocolate cups can be made ahead of time and stored in a cool, dry place or the fridge for up to two days.
