Ingredients
  • 4 Disposable plastic/paper glasses
  • 200gms approx dark chocolate (I have used Morde brand)
  • Vanilla custard as required (made previous day)
  • Fresh seasonal fruits of your choice
  • Mint leaves few, to garnish
Instructions
  1. First of all we will require tempered chocolate to shape the glasses. For this chocolate can be tempered in 2 ways.
  2. Microwave method to temper the chocolate
  3. Put chopped chocolate pieces in a microwave proof bowl and micro high first for 30 seconds.
  4. Remove it then mix it with whisker, put it back in for another 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir and place it again in microwave.
  5. Repeat this process till all the chocolate is melted smooth without any lumps.
  6. Double boiler method to temper the chocolate:
  7. Fill water in a wide pan. Heat it on high flame. Place a small steel/glass bowl over it. Keep chopped chocolate/chips inside the top bowl.
  8. Make sure the water does not reach the upper bowl. Keep stiring the chocolate till it melts completely. Keep it aside.
  9. To make chocolate glasses :
  10. Give a small cut on top of plastic/paper glass as shown in the picture. Thereafter give another slit exactly on the opposite side of the glass.
  11. Keep all slitted glasses ready.
  12. Take the previously melted chocolate. Pour chocolate in one glass, swirl it well by ensuring that the whole cup is covered with chocolate well.
  13. Once a glass is covered fully with chocolate, after that pour the excess chocolate into the next glass.
  14. Repeat this process until all the plastic glasses are done.
  15. Setting of Glasses :
  16. Keep all the chocolate covered glasses into the fridge for 3 hours minimum to chill and set properly. I kept it for 24 hrs ensuring it sets well.
  17. Take all the glasses out once it's set nicely. Now tear out the plastic from the slit from where originally it was cut. This has to be done with a little bit of patience.
  18. However if done quickly or in haste, the chocolate glasses may them break. Put these back in the fridge to chill further.
  19. Serving suggestions
  20. Now make fillings for chocolate glasses of your choice.
  21. Use Vanilla custard with seasonal fruits or fill it with mousse or your favorite icecream.
  22. I have served these with homemade vanilla custard and some fresh fruits.
  23. Devour chocolate glasses with yummilicious filling and enjoy.
Notes
You may use paper glasses but make sure that the size of glass shouldn't be big. If it is, then snip the glass from top and use it.
