Instructions

  1. Step 1: Blend 1 cup fresh blackberries and 1 tbsp honey in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, yielding 1/2 cup puree.
  2. Step 2: Melt 8 oz chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium-high until stiff peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the cooled melted dark chocolate into the whipped cream until fully combined, then fold in 1/2 cup blackberry puree.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the mixture into 6 individual dessert cups, filling each about 3/4 full, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Step 6: Just before serving, drizzle 1/4 cup melted white chocolate over each cup in a ghostly pattern.
