Mix the puffed rice with the melted chocolate in a bowl, making sure it is well incorporated.
Fill 6 muffin molds with 2 tablespoons of puffed rice and chocolate, and using a teaspoon, form a central hollow.
Place in the freezer to set for 2 hours.
While the baskets are setting, whip the cream well chilled from the fridge with the powdered sugar until a nice firm and compact consistency is achieved.
Wash and dry the blueberries or the fruit of your choice, if they are peaches or other large fruits, cut them into small pieces.
Remove from the freezer and gently unmold the Puffed Rice and Chocolate Baskets.
Fill them with the whipped cream using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and decorate with berries.
Finish by adding a few fresh mint leaves that give the dessert a very fresh aroma and serve.
