You can use any type of chocolate cake scraps but our team prefers the darkest and decadent type. Dutch-processed cocoa powder is our main ingredient to achieve this. It's called black after all. Keep chocolate moist by brushing it with simple syrup and let it sit for a few minutes before crumbling. 

We use a simple combination of heavy cream and powdered sugar whipped into firm perfection. Always use cold cream as this is easier and faster to whip. The addition of powdered sugar adds a just moderate sweetness that compliments the chocolate cake crumbles.

Let's talk about cherries. We used a canned cherry pie filling for this recipe. Some may think it won't be fitting but the sweet-tart flavor of the cherry sauce completes its richness. Trust us that canned cherries did not only make the process easier but also more accessible. It's available all throughout the year, unlike fresh cherries. Make this party mini dessert cups any time of the year.
