After reading the other reviews, I had to try this recipe. I took them to our Thanksgiving get-together and I left with an empty platter. They were a hit. I used mini muffin cups, and after they were set, I removed the wrapper and turned them upside down on a plate and drizzled melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate cups and let that set up before filling the cups. I think it made them look a little more special.
Truly elegant

I mixed 1oz of Raspberry Liquor in with the chocolate as it was cooling and the result was fabulous. I bet hazelnut, almond, coffee or orange liquor would be really good as well. To save time, I skipped making the chocolate cups and just put the mousse-like creation in bowls. Fast & delicious!
Great crowd pleaser

This was a huge success at a dinner party. It tastes and looks fantastic. The hardest part is trying to evenly coat the paper cups with chocolate, but is well worth the work.

I thought this was very easy. I did have a couple changes. I only used 7 oz of the white chocolate since that was the size of the package that I had. It worked fine, I was still able to get 8 muffine liners out of that. I did not have an orange so I left out the zest. I also did not have a problem with the cups breaking. I think you really need to do even layers of the choc. and work quickly to get them out of the liners! Yummy!
amazing!

I've made this quite a few times, however, I've made the white chocolate cups smaller.....it's such a great dessert to bring to a potluck!
Another HUGE HIT from Giada!!!!!

This dessert was amazing. I used equal parts semi and bittersweet chocolate and it was perfect. I also suggest using the mini cups. Easier to handle and eats in two bites with less mess. Also, I suggest only letting them sit out 30 minutes....max. Much longer, especially in summer months, white chocolate cup can get too soft. Otherwise, delicious!!!!

Yes, these are a little labor-intensive, so carve out some time. But, they are wonderful. If you have trouble peeling the liner...be patient. Just let them sit out for a few minutes, then start peeling. They're sturdier than you think, as long as you coated the liners generously with the white chocolate. For a first-timer on this recipe, they came out just as I'd seen them on TV. This is a restaurant quality dessert!
Smooth chocolate taste is fabulous!

The mousse part of this is so delicious. The mascarpone adds great flavor. Great for any dinner party or just because.
Really tastey, but kinda difficult

Yeah, This dessert was delicious but a little difficult to prepare. The two difficult parts. Painting the cups with the white chocolate, They kept melting when i touched them. And also, the cheese chocolate mixture, didnt come out one smooth color, it was a little marbled. didnt come out as pretty as on tv. But very delicious.
delicious

I've made this many times now and I have got to say... THIS IS A CHOCOLATE LOVERS DREAM. I always have an empty plate when I make this. And I swear - my head swells because I get nothing but compliments from everyone who sticks this treat into their mouth. If making for a dessert for a dinner party - I think making regular size cups is best. And if taking to a party - mini is the way to go. It's a must to coat the paper lining as evenly as possible to ensure you can peel it off without cracking the chocolate cup. A tip - there is usually a pocket of air on the bottom - use the tip of a corn on the cob holder to tear it and start from there!
Quick & Easy

The chocolate cups can be made the previous day. Its like 50% of yr dessert is already done. U can keep yr mind off it and do other dishes. It is better to leave the chocolate cups 15 mins in room temp before serving them. Tht way u can cut them else u have to bite them like crackers.
Very Impressive!

I made these for my daughter's birthday party. They were a great hit. Loved the mascapone flavor. I'm going to make them again in mini cups for an engagement party. Easier than making truffles. I'm thinking of making dark chocolate cups with white chocolate cream as well as the white chocolate cups with the dark chocolate cream. Will report in with results.

Help!! I can't get the paper cup off the chocolate without getting melted chocolate all over my hands. I'm using a small cup instead of the cup cake cup. That shouldn't make a difference, I think. Once the chocolate starts to melt the cup falls apart. This looks like a wonderful treat and I would love to try it!
very,very yummy!

My sister-in-law made these for us for dessert and they were fantastic! She made them in normal sized muffin tins but it was too much for the ladies as they are very rich(we actually saved the other half for the next day) so I would make them in mini muffin tins.

I didn't expect this dessert to be so sweet and rich. I guess the sweetness came from the white chocolate cups. I really enjoyed making it though.
WOW!

These were amazing! I made them for company last night. They were pretty and impressive looking and the flavors were to die for. Everyone raved! The mousse was creamy but light enough to not overwhelm. I loved the orange flavor in the chocolate. Yum. Yum. Yum. This is a keeper!
Delicioso!!!!

Delicious!!!! Although these were time consuming, they were 'doable'. I could not believe how professional they turned out. My friends and family were amazed and they loved them. My mother-in-law thought I purchased the white chocolate cups! I will definitely make them again. Thanks Giada!!!! Regards, Aunt Ruth
yummy!

This was easy to make and it looks beautiful. I put a fresh blackberry on top of each and I had a little left over chocolate cream so I made two parfaits and alternated the cream with the berries. Can't wait to dig in! I will make these again and again for company
great
