Ingredients
  

  • 1 ounce sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 6 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 ounce cocoa butter
  • 24 mini silicone baking cups
  • Waxed paper
  • Snack-size ziplock bag
  • Small spoon
  • Mini muffin pan

Method
 

  1. Line a tray with waxed paper and set 24 mini silicone baking cups on it.
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat but keep over the pan.
  3. Transfer melted white chocolate to a snack-size ziplock bag with a snipped corner and drizzle over the baking cups. Freeze until firm.
  4. Combine dark chocolate and cocoa butter in another heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  5. Working with one cup at a time, paint the dark chocolate on the bottom and sides of each frozen white chocolate cup, using about 1/2 teaspoon per cup. Freeze until firm.
  6. Cover any thin spots or holes with more dark chocolate and freeze again.
  7. Gently peel off the silicone cups and add your choice of fillings.

Notes

– For the cleanest release, ensure your chocolate is fully hardened between layers. Freezing for at least 10-15 minutes per layer is key.
– If your silicone cups are very flimsy, place them in a mini muffin pan before filling to provide stability and prevent spills.
– Store leftover chocolate cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw slightly before serving for the best texture.
