Dulce de Leche Chocolate Cups
Easy dulce de leche chocolate cups recipe with sea salt crystals. Melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate with sweet caramel filling is the perfect chocolate treat for any occasion!
Servings: 12 cups
Calories: 180
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate , 70% cocoa content (220 grams)
- 1 stick unsalted butter (110 grams)
- ½ cup dulce de leche , heaped (170 grams)
Optional:
- salt flakes
- caramel candy , finely chopped
Instructions
- Place paper cases/liners into a muffin tin or onto a tray that can fit into a freezer.
- In a double boiler, melt finely chopped chocolate and butter until smooth. Stir occasionally to help it melt faster.
- Pour about a tablespoon and a half of this melted chocolate into each paper case and place them into your freezer for 5-7 minutes or until they are hard to touch.
- Spread a heaped teaspoon of dulce de leche across the hardened chocolate. When done with all of them, pour the remaining chocolate over (again about 1½ tablespoons per cup), sprinkle with salt flakes and transfer back into the freezer.
- Keep it there for at least 1.5 hours before serving.
Notes
- I prefer using dark chocolate as the middle caramel layer is pretty sweet. You can also use semi-sweet chocolate.
- You will get 11-12 cups out of this recipe. You may end up with less/more depending on the size of cups you use. These dulce de leche chocolate cups are pretty shallow as you can see on the picture as they are quite rich. If you like them larger in size, just add more chocolate caramel. Just note that you will get less cups out of this.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or halved.
- When left outside for a long time they will go soft that is why it’s best to keep them in the freezer and take them out minutes before serving.
- Storage - store them in an air-tight container in the freezer.
