Today we are making a chocolate cup

I have filled these ones with white chocolate and coffee mousse and topped it with vanilla

foam.

To make the plate take a saucer, rub it with a little oil then cover it tightly in plastic

wrap. If you bunch it on the top side and then twist it helps to tighten it and smooth

out and creases on the base

Once it is tight cover it in melted chocolate. Then tip it on the side and tap on your arm

to allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.

Then run your thumb and finger around the edge to create a neat edge. This also makes

sure that the chocolate is not wrapping around the edge of the plate which would make it

hard to get off without breaking it.

Now to make the cup part take a container that has and wrap it in some non stick baking

paper or some foil and tape into place. Then wrap a strip of clear plastic around

the container and mark where it joins so you know how much chocolate you need.

Now the height of this rectangle is how tall you cup is going to be so cut it to the size

that you want. Take some more of your chocolate and spread

it out over the plastic. You need to use tempered chocolate for this or if you are new to working

with chocolate you can use fake chocolate or compound chocolate which doesn't need tempering.

I will link to the chocolate playlist at the end of this video, and there you will find

a video there explains the types of chocolate and tempering and what all of that means.

The chocolate should come just beyond where you marked on the plastic.

Carefully lift up the plastic and wrap it around the container.

Run a knife around the top and the bottom of the plastic the make sure you've have got

a straight edge and then leave aside to set.

Put the remaining chocolate into a plastic bag and cut a tiny bit off the corner. Then

pipe your handles onto non-stick baking paper. You can print out this free template from

the blog howtocookthat.net there is a link in the description below the video. Put the

template under the paper and trace around it using the chocolate.

I was asked this week in the comments if I could choose any five you tubers to have over

for dinner who would I close? And it is so hard to pick. I think I'd like to have Laura

Vitalle definitely Mark Crilley, the kids love Devan Supertramps channel so we'll probably

have him Id like the Shaytard family, can they count as one and I'm not sure who to

have as a fifth there are so many channels that I have even found yet. If you could have

any 5 youtubers over for dinner who would you choose. Let me know in the comments I'd

love to hear. If you are using real chocolate leave it at

room temperature to set, if using fake or compound chocolate you can put it in the fridge

or freezer to set.

Once it is set carefully untwist the plastic wrap and push it off the edges of the plate.

Then lift off the plate and peel the plastic wrap off the chocolate. then using your fingers

gently lift the plate off and then you should be able to peel back the plastic wrap off

the chocolate and you have your saucer

With the body of the cup unwrap the plastic from the chocolate and gently pull on the

baking paper to ease it off the container. If you use a metal container that helps here

because the metal shrinks slightly when it gets cold. Then scrunch up the paper on the

inside and take it out of the middle.

Warm a baking tray in the oven or on the stovetop, put some baking paper over the top then quickly

rest the base of the cup body onto it. Then place that onto the plate and it will

seals into place and form the base of the cup.

To add your handle melt a tiny bit using the tray and then put it into place.

I am part filling this one with white chocolate mousse. The recipe for this mousse is on the

blog I show you how to make it in the instagram cake video so you can watch that one if you

are not sure how to make it.

Put the mousse into a plastic bag and pipe it into the cups to 3/4 fill them.

Then take some strong coffee and fold it through the remaining mousse. Put the coffee mousse

into a bag and pipe it into the cup.

And to make the froth on top we are going to put 1 cup of milk into a container. Then

take another 1/2 cup of milk and add into that your gelatin and your sugar. Stir it

really well, and then heat in the microwave or on the stove top until the it just starts

to boil.

Add this hot mixture into the cold milk and put that in the fridge and leave it until

it is just starting to set at the edges.

So you've just got the keep checking it until you get it at the right moment. Then use an

electric mixer to whip it up until you have a good layer of froth on top. Then add a scoop

of that into the cup and put in the fridge immediately to set.

Once it is set you can sprinkle with some unsweetened cocoa powder, add a spoon and

you're dessert is ready to eat.
