Make this trending, layered Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup dessert. This simple, no-bake recipe features rich chocolate and fresh strawberries in individual servings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100ml heavy cream
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 250g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 100g crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for crust)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate layer: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for two minutes, then stir until smooth to create a ganache. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the base: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter until combined.
  3. Assemble the cups: Divide the biscuit mixture evenly among four small serving glasses or cups to form the base layer. Press down lightly.
  4. Add the strawberries: Arrange half of the sliced strawberries around the inside edge of each cup for presentation. Place the remaining sliced strawberries on top of the biscuit base.
  5. Layer the chocolate: Gently pour the slightly cooled chocolate ganache over the strawberries in each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm.
  7. Finish: Before serving, top each Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup with a dollop of whipped cream (if desired) and a whole strawberry for garnish.

Notes

  • Use chocolate with at least 60% cocoa solids for the best flavor profile in this rich chocolate mousse with strawberries.
  • For a quicker set, place the cups in the freezer for 30 minutes after pouring the chocolate layer.
  • You can substitute the biscuits with crushed shortbread cookies for a different texture in this sweet strawberry chocolate cup.
