Mini Chocolate Cups With Ricotta Cream

1. 1

   Melt the chocolate and shortening in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Stir often and stop as soon as it's melted or it will scorch. Or you can melt it on the stove top in a double boiler. Coat the inside of 9 mini paper baking cups with the melted chocolate. Transfer cups to the fridge for 15 minutes and then remove from the fridge and add another coating of chocolate. Return to the fridge for 30 minutes longer. Once the chocolate is set peel the paper away.

2. 2

   Combine the ricotta cheese, sugar substitute and vanilla extract. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe into the chocolate cups.

   These can be topped off with just about anything! A chocolate dipped strawberry is perfect! Chopped nuts, fresh fruit and mini chocolate chips would also be great! Enjoy!
