Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Shells

For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream Adds creaminess to the filling.

  • 1/4 cup dried figs Can replace with other dried fruits.

Method
 

Preparation

  2. Using a spoon or brush, coat the inside of silicone muffin molds with the melted chocolate, ensuring an even layer.
  3. Let the chocolate shells set in the fridge for about 15 minutes, or until firm.
Creating the Filling

Assembling & Sealing the Cups

  2. Melt the remaining chocolate and carefully pour a layer on top of each filled cup, ensuring the filling is completely covered.
  3. Return the molds to the fridge for another 10-15 minutes.
Serving
  1. Once fully set, gently pop the chocolate cups out of the molds and serve on a beautiful platter.
