Chocolate on Chocolate What could be better to celebrate Valentines week, or a birthday? In this case, mine..... As I was playing with chocolate recipes I thought, why not blend the ever popular Portuguese tarts "Pasteis pastry" and mouse de Chocolate into one dessert you can pick up & eat with your hands. The result, delicious.. A rich chewy chocolate "pastel" makes up the cup, filled with a rich creamy chocolate mousse, and why not top off with a chocolate covered strawberry.. The recipe for the cup, 1.5 cups pastry flour 1.5 cup confectioners sugar 3 Tablespoons butter 3 egg yolks 5 oz dark chocolate melt the chocolate in a bain-marie mix the ingredients together in a bowl and blend together with your hands as if making bread. Place mix in the refrigerator for 20 minutes Them roll or flatten with hands & make cup. Bake In the oven for 15 minutes @ 300. Fill with chocolate mousse & refrigerate again (See chocolate mousse recipe) Tags: chocolate mousse cup, pastel de mousse chocolate Posted in General Info | 2 Comments » Read the story »
