Cupid’s Chocolate Cups

Rich, creamy, and packed with beauty-boosting Chocolate Collagen Peptides, these indulgent brownies are the perfect way to satisfy your cravings while supporting your hair, skin, and nails.

Ingredients:

• 5 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (sugar free)

• 1 scoop Live Conscious Chocolate Collagen Peptides

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

• ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of heavy cream

• Strawberries or whip cream, for garnish, if desired. 

Instructions:

1. Place 4-6 small bowls, ramekins, or little pots on a plate or pan that will later go in the fridge

2. Place chocolate chips, Live Conscious Chocolate Collagen Peptides, egg, vanilla, and sea salt in a blender. Pulse a few times to break the chocolate chips into smaller chunks. 

3. Pour cream or half and half into a microwave safe bowl. Make sure it’s quite a bit bigger to compensate for the bubbling of the cream when heated. Heat on high for about 1 ½ minutes, or until cream is at a boil. 

4. Turn on the blender to low and blend for 15 seconds, and then slowly begin pouring in the hot cream into a funnel or through the small hole in the top of the blender. Once it is all in, turn the blender speed to high. Blend for 1 minute, then pour into the cups/ramekins and refrigerate for 1 hour. 

5. Garnish with strawberries or whip cream, if desired.
