Can I use a different type of chocolate for the cups?

The recipe specifies 7 ounces of vegan dark chocolate for the cups, which provides a rich flavor and sets well for the base.

What's the best way to get smooth layers for the coffee and cream fillings?

Both the coffee and cream layers are made by blending coconut cream, maple syrup, and flavorings in a food processor or blender until smooth before pouring into the cups.

How should I store these Chocolate Coffee Cream Cups?

The recipe repeatedly instructs to place the cups into the freezer to set after each layer, implying they should be stored chilled, and suggests allowing them to rest at room temperature before enjoying.

What can I use to garnish these cream cups?

The recipe suggests adding a sprinkling of grated chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder on top of the cream layer before the final set, for an elegant finish.
