Ingredients for the Chocolate Cups

7 oz dark chocolate
1 teaspoon sunflower oil
1 cup fresh liquid cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
as needed crushed pistachios
as needed walnuts (chopped)
as needed unsweetened cocoa powder

Tools

16 Cups coffee size
1 Scissors
1 Electric whisk
1 Piping bag

Preparation of Chocolate Cups

To make the chocolate cups, first chop the dark chocolate
Place it in a bowl and melt it using the double boiler method
Add 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil and mix well
Use scissors to make small cuts at the top of the cups
Insert each cut cup inside another cup.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate, rotating the cup very slowly to reach the edge.
Place the cups upright inside a baking tray with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Remove the cups from the fridge and fill again with an ample tablespoon of chocolate, especially reaching the sides and the edge.
Place the cups upside down on the parchment paper this time so the chocolate will solidify, making the walls and edge thicker.
Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Gently detach by holding the edge of the cup and pulling downwards at each cut
Continue until you remove the chocolate cups from the plastic shell.
While the chocolate cups are solidifying in the fridge, whip the cream with the electric whisks and the powdered sugar until it reaches a firm consistency, then fill a piping bag with a star tip.
Once the cups are ready, fill them with whipped cream and decorate with crushed pistachios, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chopped walnuts.
You can let your imagination run free and decorate them with sugar sprinkles or whatever your imagination suggests.
