Chocolate cream cup: the recipe for the super delicious dessert that doesn’t need baking
The chocolate cream cup is a surprisingly simple dessert to make but impressive anyway. A refined end of meal that "deconstructs" the famous chocolate of Turin and plays with different textures; the crunchy base, consisting of crumbled biscuits, hazelnuts and butter (as if it were a small cheesecake), and the soft two creams that alternate, one white and one dark chocolate. Very easy to replicate at home, the chocolate cream cup is perfect to serve at the end of a special dinner or a buffet organized on the terrace.
