When elegance meets indulgence, you get these Salted Caramel Chocolate Dessert Cups.

Inside, we layer smooth salted caramel, creamy milk chocolate ganache, and a fluffy crown of whipped cream. The result? A dessert that’s as impressive on the table as it is irresistible to eat.
Perfect for parties, dinner gatherings, or a sweet gift, these little cups make entertaining easy while looking like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients (Makes 12 Dessert Cups)
-
12 Lang’s Chocolates Dessert Cups
-
1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
4 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
-
1 cup whipped cream (freshly whipped or stabilized)
-
Sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Make the Ganache
-
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam and just starts bubbling at the edges (do not boil).
-
Pour hot cream over chopped milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
-
Stir slowly until smooth, glossy, and fully combined. Let the ganache cool until slightly thickened but still pourable.
2. Add the Salted Caramel
-
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of salted caramel sauce into the base of each chocolate dessert cup.
3. Layer with Ganache
-
Spoon or pipe the milk chocolate ganache over the caramel layer, filling about three-quarters of the cup.
-
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes so the ganache sets just enough to hold its shape.
4. Top with Whipped Cream
-
Pipe or dollop whipped cream on top of each dessert cup.
-
Add a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for an elegant finishing touch.
5. Serve & Enjoy
-
Keep chilled until ready to serve. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for the freshest presentation.
Helpful Tips & Variations
-
Homemade Salted Caramel: If you’d like to make your own, combine sugar, butter, and cream in a saucepan until golden brown, then finish with a pinch of sea salt.
-
Stabilized Whipped Cream: To keep whipped cream looking picture-perfect for longer, add a spoonful of powdered sugar or cream stabilizer while whipping.
-
Make Ahead: You can prepare the caramel and ganache layers a day in advance. Add whipped cream just before serving.
-
Flavor Variations: Swap salted caramel for raspberry jam, peanut butter mousse, or hazelnut spread for different taste experiences.
-
Elegant Garnishes: Chocolate curls, caramel drizzle, or even gold leaf take this dessert from delicious to show-stopping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make these in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the caramel and ganache layers up to a day ahead. Keep them covered in the fridge. Add whipped cream just before serving.
Q: Do I need to temper the ganache?
No. Ganache naturally sets smooth and creamy without tempering. Just be sure to let it cool before piping or spooning it into the cups.
Q: Can I freeze these?
Freezing is not recommended, as whipped cream and caramel can separate when thawed. They’re best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.
Q: What if I don’t like salted caramel?
You can substitute dulce de leche, fruit preserves, or nut butters. The chocolate cups make a perfect blank canvas for any flavor combination.
