Festive Chocolate Pomegranate Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate melted with 1 Tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
  • 1 large pomegranate
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs to decorate

Instructions

  • Line a mini muffin-tin with mini cupcake liners.
  • To EASILY remove pomegranate arils:
  • Fill 1/3 of a large bowl with cold water.
  • Score 4 lines from top to bottom to quarter your pomegranate.
  • Submerge the pomegranate quarters into the bowl of water and gently release the seeds with your hands.
  • This is such an easy and less-messy way of seeding a pomegranate.
  • The pith will float and the seeds will sink, so remove the pith and discard, then drain the seeds. Gently pat dry seeds with paper towels.
  • Scoop about 2 teaspoonfuls of melted chocolate into each cup.
  • Top the cups with a spoonful of pomegranate arils.
  • Then, using a spoon, swirl melted chocolate all over the seeds, as shown.
  • Allow to sit in your refrigerator for 15 minutes, until the chocolate sets.
  • Pop them out of the tin, unwrap and arrange on a large platter.
  • Decorate with rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
  • These stay good, kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
