Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 gluten-free tortillas
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fresh berries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
- Take the gluten-free tortillas and carefully cut each tortilla into 4 equal circular pieces using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
- Gently press each tortilla circle into the muffin tin cups, creating small cup shapes. Ensure the edges are slightly folded and pressed against the sides to maintain the cup structure.
- Bake the tortilla cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until they become crisp and golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Brush the inside of each cooled tortilla cup with a thin layer of melted chocolate, which will help create a sturdy base and add flavor.
- Allow the chocolate layer to set and harden for approximately 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Fill each chocolate-lined tortilla cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a piping bag or spoon.
- Top the whipped cream with fresh berries, arranging them attractively on the surface.
- Dust the filled dessert cups with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve for an elegant finish.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to maintain the crisp texture of the tortilla cups.
Tips
- Choose high-quality gluten-free tortillas for the best texture and taste.
- Use kitchen scissors for precise and even tortilla cutting.
- Press tortilla circles gently but firmly into the muffin tin to create perfect cup shapes.
- Watch the tortilla cups carefully while baking to prevent burning.
- When melting chocolate, stir frequently to ensure smooth consistency.
- Use a piping bag for a more professional-looking whipped cream presentation.
- Select fresh, ripe berries for maximum flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly to maintain the crisp tortilla texture.
- Experiment with different chocolate types and berry combinations.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped cream and dairy-free chocolate.
