No, your eyes don't deceive you — that's a cup and saucer made entirely of chocolate! It's like a dream come true. This is perfect for a romantic evening or even a fun project any kid would love to make!
In this easy-to-follow tutorial, How To Cook That is going to take you through the rather simple steps of the Chocolate Cup. She fills the cup with white chocolate and coffee mousse, topped with a vanilla foam — but you can come up with a cozy concoction of your own!
For 4 chocolate cups you will need:
-
Rectangle of plastic acetate for chocolate work can be purchased form chef supply stores or you can buy acetate from craft stores or use clear plastic from overhead projector sheets.) My rectangle was 26cm (10.24 inches) x 10cm (3.94 inches)
-
Saucer, 15.5cm (6.1 inches) in diameter
-
500g (17.64 ounces) tempered chocolate (or you can use fake/compound chocolate see this post on what chocolate to use and tempering). The amount of chocolate that you need will vary with cup size and the thickness you make your chocolate.
-
Oil and some plastic wrap
-
Handle template
