DLux Mini Dessert Cups are delightful layered treats featuring moist chocolate cake crumbs, sweet whipped cream, and cherry pie filling, all topped with chocolate shavings and fresh cherries. These no-bake, elegant mini desserts are perfect for parties or a sweet ending to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake Layer

  • 1 lb chocolate cake (crumbled)

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Fruit and Garnish

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate shavings
  • 1 cup cherries with stems (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crumble the cake: Break down the chocolate cake into small, fine pieces and set aside for layering.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, combine the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form to create a fluffy and sweetened whipped cream.
  3. Layer the dessert: Begin assembling the mini dessert cups by layering chocolate cake crumbs at the bottom, followed by a generous dollop of whipped cream, and then a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
  4. Repeat layers: Add another layer of chocolate cake crumbs, whipped cream, and cherry pie filling for a beautifully layered effect.
  5. Top with whipped cream: Finish with a swirl of whipped cream on top of each cup.
  6. Garnish: Decorate each mini cup with semisweet chocolate shavings and a fresh cherry with stem for an elegant presentation.
  7. Chill: Place the assembled mini dessert cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the dessert firm up slightly.

Notes

  • Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for the best whipping results.
  • You can prepare these dessert cups a day ahead to save time; just keep them covered in the refrigerator.
  • For variation, substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like raspberry or blueberry.
  • These dessert cups are best served chilled to maintain their structure and flavor.
