Chocolate Coupe with Cocoa Nib Mousse
Yigit Pura became intrigued with the idea of coupes—the ice cream–based desserts usually served in a glass of the same name—about five years ago. "They're so simple and you can layer them with almost anything to create different flavors, textures and even temperatures," he says. His ultra-chocolaty version combines cocoa nib mousse with chocolate cream and chocolate wafer cookies. The salty hazelnut crumble topping is versatile—Pura recommends using it to replace streusel in just about any dessert. More Great Chocolate Desserts
