הוראות הכנה
  1. To make the pistachio cream part:
  2. Place the cream ingredients (1/2 cup macadamia nuts, ½ cup pistachio nuts, ⅓ cup pure maple syrup, 1 tea spoon vanilla extract) inside a blender and puree until combined. If you don't have a high speed blender you may be left with some nuts pieces not pureed, which is great also, as it gives some crunch to the cups.
  3. To make the chocolate part:
  4. If you chose the store bought version simply melt your bought chocolate in a bain-marie (inside a small pot over a larger pot with boiling water. Make sure not to get water into your melting chocolate), stirring continuously.
  5. For the homemade healthier version: use the same bain-marie method to melt and combine the ½ cup cocoa butter, 2 table spoons cocoa powder, and the 2 table spoons pure maple syrup. stir continuously until well combined.
  6. Build the cups: this recipe is enough to fill 8 mini muffins molds, and you can "play" with the presentation. You can fill some of the molds with the chocolate half full, place in the freezer for a few minutes then take out and add the pistachio cream on top of the chocolate. You can reverse the order and do pistachio first chocolate later. Or you can fill up some with chocolate, making sure you put some chocolate on the sides of the molds, send to the freezer for a few minutes, take out and add the pistachio cream, and more chocolate on top of it, thus creating the more traditional cups look. (Check out the pictures above for examples to all of these).
  7. Top with some kosher salt (not a must, only if you like the sweet and salty taste combination) and keep in the freezer.
  8. Let sit outside of the freezer for 5 minutes before serving.
