Dubai Strawberry Cup
A decadent and viral dessert combining fresh strawberries, rich chocolate, and a crunchy pistachio topping. The Dubai Strawberry Cup is an irresistible treat that combines sweetness and texture in every bite.
Ingredients
- 10-15 large fresh strawberries (ripe and juicy)
- 200 g dark chocolate (or your preferred choice)
- 100 g white chocolate (optional, for a decorative topping)
- 30 g crushed pistachios
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp honey or sugar syrup (for glazing)
- 50 g crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers (optional for crust)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts smoothly without burning.
- Shape the Chocolate Cups:Dip each strawberry into the melted dark chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it in a muffin tin or mold. This will form the chocolate cup around the strawberry.
- Add the Whipped Cream:Once the chocolate cups have set (about 10-15 minutes in the fridge), pipe a generous amount of whipped cream into the center of each cup.
- Top with Pistachios:Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the whipped cream for a crunchy and salty contrast to the sweet chocolate and creamy filling.
- Drizzle with Honey or Sugar Syrup:Drizzle honey or sugar syrup over the top for added sweetness and to give it a glossy finish.
- Chill and Serve:Place the cups in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up and the whipped cream to hold its shape.
- Enjoy:Once chilled, your Dubai Strawberry Cups are ready to be served. Enjoy this viral dessert with friends and family!
Notes
- You can substitute pistachios with other nuts like almonds or hazelnuts if preferred.
- For a richer dessert, you can add a layer of crushed biscuits as a base for the chocolate cup.
- If you're making the cups ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
