Description
DLux Mini Dessert Cups – Black Forest Cake are a no-bake treat with layers of crumbled chocolate cake, whipped cream, and sweet cherry pie filling. These mini desserts are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 lb chocolate cake (crumbled)
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream (cold)
1 cup cherry pie filling
¼ cup semisweet chocolate shavings
1 cup cherries with stems (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Crumbs: Crumble the chocolate cake into small pieces and set aside.
- Whip the Cream: In a bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Keep the whipped cream cold to maintain the best consistency.
- Assemble the Dessert Cups: In mini dessert cups, layer the crumbled chocolate cake, whipped cream, and cherry pie filling. Repeat the layers until the cups are full, finishing with a swirl of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle semisweet chocolate shavings over the top and place a cherry with a stem on each dessert for a decorative and tasty finish.
- Chill: Chill the assembled mini dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
Notes
Store-bought whipped cream can be used if you’re short on time.
Feel free to add a twist of cherry liqueur to the cake crumbs for an adult version.
Frozen cherries can be used as a garnish if fresh cherries are not available.
You can make the dessert cups a day ahead for better flavor.
Homemade whipped cream is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
