6 Servings

Prep time: 40 min

Cook time: 5 min

Ingredients:

• 5 3/10 oz. chocolate, your choice
• 5 3/10 oz. caramel/dulce de leche
• 7 oz. lemon curd
• 10 oz. whipping cream
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp. icing sugar (optional)

Instructions:

• 1. Melt the chocolate over double boiler. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix until dissolved.
• 2. Let it cool a bit before adding caramel (or dulce de leche). Mix until well combined. Pour/spoon the mixture into a ziplock/plastic/piping bag and fill 6 cups with it. Using a teaspoon spread the mixture in the cups evenly.
• 3. Place in your fridge for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile: pour cold whipping cream into a chilled bowl (place it in your freezer for 5 minutes prior to whipping), add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and whip until stiff. Spoon the cream into a ziplock/piping bag and put aside for later.
• 4. Take the cups out from the fridge and fill each one with lemon curd (about 3 teaspoons for each cup). Spread it around with the spoon.
• 5. Top with whipped cream (make sure you keep the tip of the bag in the cup – as close to lemon curd as possible, this will reduce the number of air pockets). Fill to the top.
• 6. Garnish with some chocolate shavings and serve!
