Ingredients
Scale
Primary Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1 package milk chocolate
- 1 package cocoa powder
Decoration Elements:
- 2 candy canes
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) granulated sugar
Tools:
- 2 disposable cups
Instructions
- Carefully melt milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to achieve a glossy, smooth consistency without burning.
- Create chocolate shells by generously coating the interior of disposable cups with the melted chocolate, rotating to ensure an even, thick layer. Refrigerate momentarily to help the chocolate set firmly.
- Delicately remove the disposable cups, revealing the elegant chocolate shells, taking care not to crack the fragile chocolate exterior.
- Reinforce the base of each chocolate shell with an additional layer of melted chocolate, then strategically position a candy cane as a festive handle, pressing gently to secure.
- Dust the interior of the chocolate cups with rich cocoa powder, creating a decadent base layer. Artfully top with fluffy mini marshmallows, then drizzle a fine stream of melted chocolate to anchor the marshmallows in place.
- Elevate the presentation by dipping the cup rims in warm chocolate and sprinkling with sparkling granulated sugar. Allow the entire creation to set completely in a cool environment, ensuring a beautiful and delicious hot chocolate vessel.
Notes
- Melt chocolate carefully to prevent burning, using low heat or short microwave bursts while stirring consistently for a glossy, smooth finish.
- Choose high-quality milk chocolate for richer flavor and better melting properties, ensuring a luxurious texture in your hot chocolate cups.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk chocolate with dark vegan chocolate and use plant-based milk when preparing the hot drink.
- Create uniform chocolate shells by rotating disposable cups slowly and evenly, allowing excess chocolate to drip out for a thin, consistent layer.
