Notes
- using silicone muffin cases is a lifesaver, as the cups simply pop out once they are set - mess-free, and beautiful cups, just perfect!
- using lemon juice prevents the banana slices of browning too quickly, it can be either fresh lemon juice or lemon juice from a bottle
- you can also freeze these chocolate cups and enjoy them as a frozen treat
