Chocolate Cups With Ice Cream
Serves 4, ready in 2 hours 10 mins
Our star dessert is a real showstopper, and easier than you’d think too.

Ingredients
- 125g Co-op Fairtrade dark chocolate
- 4 scoops Co-op Irresistible English strawberry and clotted cream ice cream
- 8 Co-op British strawberries, hulled and halved
- A few mint leaves
Method
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the base doesn’t touch, then allow to cool slightly
- Line a tray with greaseproof paper
- Partially blow up 2 clean balloons, tie the ends, then dip into the chocolate part way, making sure the balloon is thickly coated in chocolate
- Rest the balloons on the greaseproof paper, and leave in a cool place for 2 hours to set fully
- Slowly release the air from the balloons and discard, then gently peel the bowls from the greaseproof paper
- Fill each chocolate bowl with 2 scoops of ice cream, 8 strawberry halves, and some mint leaves
- Set the bowls on 2 plates, and all tuck in
