Chocolate Cherry Valentine Cup
3/4 cup milk
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup(8 oz) mini real chocolate bits
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dried cherries
8 large Fillo Factory fillo cups
Optional Garnish:
1/2 cup whipped cream
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
8 maraschino cherries
Chill electric mixer beaters and bowl along with whipped cream. Pour milk into top of double boiler and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soften 5 minutes. Constantly stirring, heat over simmering water until gelatin dissolves. Add chocolate bits and sugar and stir together until melted and smooth-1 to 2 minutes. Cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature.(Do not chill or mixture will set.) Beat whipping cream until vanilla until stiff peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup for garnish, if desired. With beater on low, pour in chocolate mixture, scraping down sides. Fold in dried cherries. Divide mixture evenly to fill each shell and chill 20 minutes or until filling is set. If desired, top each with a table spoon of whipped cream, a sprinkling of cocoa and a maraschino cherry.
