Chocolate cups are small glass-shaped chocolate containers ideal for serving creams, ice creams and liqueurs. Very easy to prepare, in just a few minutes you can create a delicious and spectacular dessert at the end of a meal . Simply chop the dark chocolate , melt it in a bain-marie  or in the microwave and pour it into plastic or paper cups. Once the chocolate has cooled, all that remains is to delicately remove the cups and fill them according to your tastes. We have prepared a soft and delicious coffee cream made with just 3 ingredients : water, sugar and instant coffee , which will be whipped together until they form a mousse. Once the chocolate cups have been filled with the cold coffee cream, they will be served sprinkled with bitter cocoa.
