Cups of chocolate and coffee cream

Making the desserts at home is rewarding, delicious and, I must admit, really addictive! Even more so when you discover how easy it can be to make delicious recipes like the one Virginia, author of the Sweet&Sour blog , brings us today. You will love this chocolate cream dessert.

Do you remember those chocolate creams from our childhood? Well, with this recipe you will enjoy that pleasure again, but for adult palates, since we will add a touch of coffee and another of liquor to the chocolate, if you feel like it.

Of course, this cream is infinitely better, more natural and less cloying than the ones bought and, above all, you know exactly what each of these little glasses contains.

It will be a year since, thanks to Claudia & Julia, I got the Tefal Multidelices yogurt maker , and I can confess that there is no laziness to have, not only fresh and light yogurts in the fridge and very natural creamy cheeses, but small desserts like these, that give me the whim of the week.
It's nice to come home from the beach or the pool, or simply after a hot day at work, and have a very fresh craving at your disposal just by opening the fridge!!!

In this case, the whim is a chocolate and coffee cream, which you can have ready in just 25 minutes and without really getting into the kitchen to dirty pots and pans and get hot.

In this case, the marriage of chocolate and coffee is a total success, if you also crown it with a little whipped cream and accompany it with some red berries, you will also turn it into a dessert that, without effort, will triumph in any gathering. Of course, choose quality chocolate: it makes a difference!
How do we do it? Let's go with the recipe:

INGREDIENTS (For 6 150 ml glasses)

• 120 gr. of quality Chocolate 52% mg
• 30 gr. Butter at room temperature
• 350 ml of whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon of soluble coffee
• 1 tablespoon of Rum, Whiskey or the liquor of your choice (optional)
• 2 "L" egg yolks at room temperature
• 30 gr. icing sugar
• 20 gr. quality cocoa powder, sifted

To decorate:

• 200 ml of Cream 35% mg
• Chocolate chips
• red fruits

PREPARATION

1. Cut the butter into cubes and reserve.
2. Chop the chocolate with the help of a knife and place in a bowl. We booked.
3. In a medium saucepan , over medium heat, heat half the cream with the tablespoon of soluble coffee and the liquor (if you want to use it - I do not recommend that you do so if children are going to enjoy it). Let the coffee dissolve and the cream heat up.
4. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and add the butter. Let stand for a couple of minutes so that the heat melts the chocolate and butter, before mixing well with a rubber spatula and obtaining a homogeneous cream. We booked.
5. In another bowl , mix the egg yolks with sugar and the sifted cocoa, and beat lightly with the beaters of the electric mixer , until they have grown to almost 50% of their initial volume. It does not have to double its volume, just 50%, just enough to give a little volume and make the cream softer.
6. Mix this preparation with the chocolate mixture until obtaining a homogeneous cream. Add the remaining cream and mix again.
7. We distribute the cream in the Tefal Multidelices yogurt maker cups, filling them up to 3/4 parts.
8. Fill the base of the Tefal Multidelices yogurt maker with water, up to the maximum limit indicated. We place the cups without the lids, inside. We plugged in, chose the dessert option and set the time to 25 minutes. We give the Ok and wait. The machine will beep when the time is up.
9. We unplugged. Let it cool at room temperature. We cover with their lids and in the fridge. Ready to enjoy fresh at any time.
10. When serving, we mount the cream, sprinkle with grated chocolate or chocolate shavings and decorate with red fruits.
11. Simply delicious. One of those desserts that take you back to childhood.

Tips:
*If the cream is going to be enjoyed by children and you don't want coffee or liquor, just omit it in the recipe.

To enjoy.
