This post is the first of the in-store tasting recipes series!

These treats are great easy to make dessert bites that will have gourmet written all over them when you serve them to guests! I picked up all the ingredients at the Eden Gourmet in South Orange. This recipe makes eight dessert bites.

• 1 pkg of 8 Dobla Belgian Chocolate Dessert Cups
• 1 jar ready made vanilla custard filling
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• 4 lychee fruits cut in half (fresh or canned)
• Ina Garten’s raspberry sauce (garnish)

Spoon about one tablespoon of vanilla custard into each of the chocolate dessert cups. Gently smooth out the custard into a flat top with the back of a spoon or a knife. Sprinkle a thin layer of finely ground cardamom powder over the top of the custard. Press half a lychee fruit, cut side down into the custards and then spoon a small amount of raspberry sauce to the side to add a spot of color.

Try in furbish over the next week or two to see if you like! So far they have been a HUGE hit!
