Berry Sorbet Chocolate Cups Ingredients and Accessories
Dark Chocolate – Rich in antioxidants and naturally lower in sugar than milk chocolate. It also creates the perfect sturdy shell for this frozen dessert.
Frozen Berries – Loaded with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. Their natural sweetness makes this sorbet flavorful without added sugar.
Plain Yogurt – Adds creaminess and probiotics for gut health. Use full-fat for the creamiest texture.
Chocolate Protein Powder – Makes this treat more filling and supportive of your daily protein goals. Great post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up! I’m currently loving the Peachie Spoon Protein Powder and approve of the clean ingredients. My code HEALTHYHOLME12 saves $$.
Silicone Cups – I chose the heart shape, but you could use any silicone cup.
Tips for the best Berry Sorbet Chocolate Cups
-
Use silicone molds – They’re the easiest to remove without breaking the chocolate. I chose the heart shape, but you could use any silicone cup.
-
Freeze the sorbet first – This helps it hold its shape when scooping.
-
Work quickly – The chocolate melts fast when touched, so keep your hands cool or use gloves if needed.
-
Dairy-free? Use coconut yogurt and dairy-free chocolate for a 100% plant-based version.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Store the molded chocolate cups in an airtight container in the freezer. Fill with sorbet just before serving for the best texture.
What protein powder do you recommend?
Use a clean chocolate protein powder you enjoy—whey, collagen, or plant-based all work well. I’m currently loving the Peachie Spoon Protein Powder and approve of the clean ingredients. My code HEALTHYHOLME12 saves $$.
Can I use fresh berries?
Frozen berries give the best sorbet texture. If using fresh, freeze them first before blending.
