# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Melt 200 g dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Coat silicone cupcake molds evenly with melted chocolate using a spoon or brush. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes until set. Repeat coating for a thicker shell and freeze again.
02 -
Heat 120 ml heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering without boiling. Pour over 200 g chopped dark chocolate; let rest for one minute, then stir until smooth. Incorporate 15 g unsalted butter, 5 ml vanilla extract, and 16 g powdered sugar. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
03 -
Remove chocolate shells from freezer and evenly distribute chopped fresh strawberries inside. Pour ganache over the strawberries to fill each cup. Smooth the surface and refrigerate for at least one hour until firm.
04 -
Carefully release the chocolate cups from molds. Garnish with white chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or whipped cream as desired. Serve chilled for an optimal flavor balance.
# Extra Suggestions:

For best results, ensure the chocolate shells are fully set before layering to prevent melting.
