Ingredients for the Strawberry and Grape Truffle Cups:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 carton (7 oz) table cream (or heavy cream)
• 14 oz (400g) milk chocolate melting wafers (confectionery coating)
• 10 strawberries, washed and hulled
• 10 seedless grapes

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and table cream. Stir constantly until you obtain a smooth and thick cream.
3. Remove from heat and let the cream cool completely.
4. While the cream cools, prepare the chocolate for the shells. Melt the milk chocolate wafers in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely smooth.
5. Coat the inside of small plastic dessert cups with the melted chocolate, rotating to ensure full coverage. Place them on a tray and refrigerate until hardened.
6. Once the cream is cool and the chocolate shells are set, it’s time to assemble. Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the cups with a generous layer of the cream.
7. Place one strawberry or grape into each cup, pressing slightly to secure it in the cream.
8. Cover the fruit with another layer of cream, ensuring they are completely enclosed.
9. Finish by sealing the tops with a layer of melted chocolate.
10. Refrigerate the truffle cups for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
11. Once set, they are ready to serve or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Pro-Tips:

You can melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave as described or using a double boiler. Ensure the consistency is just right—not too thin, not too thick—for the perfect shell.

Prep time: Approximately 30 minutes.

Yields: Approximately 15 to 20 truffle cups, depending on the thickness of the chocolate shells.
