We love making edible chocolate cups. They’re a fun treat and kids get a total kick out of the cups being edible and looking just like a cupcake wrapper. You can use any chocolate you want, milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even colored chocolate. For the chocolate, you can use high-quality chocolate, chocolate chips, or even chocolate melts. I’ve been making this recipe for years and it’s definitely a fun family favorite to make and eat. We usually make it for our ice cream cupcakes or trifle cupcakes.

It’s easy to get the kids involved making this as well. You can make it even more fun by adding in sprinkles to the chocolate mixture or adding sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CUPS

  1. You’ll need chocolate, a pastry or silicone brush, a muffin pan, also cupcake liners or silicone liners.
  2. To melt the chocolate you can do this in the microwave by placing the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cooking 30 seconds mixing and then repeat microwaving in 30-second intervals stirring until smooth and completely melted. Or you can make temperated chocolate by using the double boiler method.
  3. Place the paper cups or silicone cups into the muffin pan and then brush a layer of chocolate onto the liners to cover.
  4. Refrigerate the chocolate cups until firm, about 30 minutes.
  5. Once completely solid remove the cups from the liners and use as desired.

HOW TO USE CHOCOLATE CUPS

The best treats are something that doesn’t have to be baked as you cannot bake these in the oven. You can fill with mousses, frostings, homemade whipped cream, fruit salad, chocolate cake, and of course ice cream. These ice cream cupcakes are so much fun for parties topped with our homemade copycat magic shell copy recipe.

HOW TO STORE CHOCOLATE CUPS

Store the chocolate cups in an airtight container in a cool area, like a cabinet. We use within a week.

RECIPE NOTES:

  • Make sure you’re making a thick layer of chocolate, if it’s too thin it will break when you remove it from the liners.
  • You can refrigerate them, but keep in mind chocolate can absorb flavors, it’s best to keep them in a container if possible.
  • If you’ll be serving outside try to keep them in a shaded area as it’s chocolate and they can melt.
