Decadent Duo for Decadent Duos: Chocolate Cups with Whipped Cream

Ingredients

• 1  eggs 
• 2 tablespoons frangelico dark
• 4 servings mint leaves for garnish, optional
• 4  peanut butter cups 
• 1 pinch salt 
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate 
• 2 tablespoons sugar 
• 1 cup whipping cream 
• 0.7 cup milk whole

Equipment

• food processor
• frying pan
• blender

Directions

1. Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil.
2. In blender or food processor combine egg, sugar, a pinch of salt, semisweet chips, and liqueur. Run processor or turn on blender to low setting.
3. Pour in boiling milk in a slow stream. The hot milk will cook egg and melt chocolate. Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth.
4. Spoon chocolate into 4 demitasse cups and chill. After dinner, beat cream until soft peaks form.
5. Add a little sugar and beat to combine. Top the chocolate cups with a dollop of cream and garnish each cup with mint sprigs.
6. Place cups on saucers and serve with demitasse spoons. If you use teacups, this recipe will yield 2 cups, rather than 4.
