Dubai Cups
π Pistachio Dubai Cups β for Valentine's Day π
Pistachios are everywhere at the moment β and rightly so. These pistachio and chocolate cups are the perfect little treat for Valentine's Day.
Crunchy, creamy and intensely chocolatey, these cups prove that simple ingredients can create a spectacular dessert. The combination of crisp flakes, silky pistachio cream and dark chocolate is hard to turn down.
Ingredients for roughly 6β8 pieces
- 2 bars of dark chocolate, free from sugar and palm oil
- 2 cups of unsalted pistachios
- ΒΌ cup of agave syrup
- Β½ cup of buckwheat flakes or cornflakes

Method
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Spoon a small amount into muffin cases, coating the sides, and pop them in the freezer for a short while.
- Blend the pistachios in the CB1000 professional vacuum blender until you have a smooth, creamy butter.
- Mix the pistachio paste with the agave syrup and the flakes.
- Spoon the mixture over the chocolate base and cover with another layer of chocolate.
- Scatter over some chopped pistachios and leave the cups in the fridge or freezer until set.


The result is a delicious contrast between the crunchy layer and the creamy filling. With the CB1000 professional vacuum blender you can make very smooth nut butters, creams and smoothies with an intense flavour and reduced oxidation.
