Ingredients
For the Edible Chocolate Cups
- 6 ounces High-Quality Chocolate dark, melted and tempered; bittersweet or semisweet chocolate works well
- 6 Silicone Cupcake Liners
- 1 Paint Brush small
For the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Sugar granulated
- 3.5 tsp Corn Flour
- 3 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Vanilla Bean split and seeds scraped
- 200 ml Heavy Cream
Instructions
Prepare the Edible Chocolate Cups
- Paint a thin, even layer of melted chocolate inside each silicone cupcake liner, covering the bottom and sides.
- Refrigerate the liners for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
- Paint a second thin layer of chocolate over the first layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Refrigerate for another 10 minutes to set.
- Carefully peel the chocolate cups away from the silicone liners.
- Set aside.
Make the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, sugar, and vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped).
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold milk to create a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch paste into the warm milk mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the vanilla bean.
- Stir in the heavy cream until well combined.
- Pour the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove and whisk vigorously to break up any ice crystals.
- Repeat the freezing and whisking process 3-4 times, allowing 30 minutes between each step. Then freeze until solid (at least 4 hours or overnight).
Assemble the Dessert
- Once the ice cream is frozen solid, scoop it into the prepared chocolate cups.
- Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Edible Chocolate Cups and Ice Cream:
- For perfectly smooth chocolate cups, ensure your chocolate is properly tempered. This will create a shiny, crisp shell that's easy to remove from the molds.
- To prevent ice crystals from forming in your ice cream, make sure to thoroughly whisk the mixture after each freezing period.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate for the cups, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate, to create varied flavor combinations.
- Garnish your finished dessert with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of elegance.
