Ingredients:
- 1 cup of heavy cream for whipping
- 1/3 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 package of simple biscuits
- 3 tablespoons of melted butter
- 8-9 premium chocolate truffles
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

Method:
- Begin by finely crushing the biscuits and blending them with the melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Set this crumbly base aside.
- In a different bowl, combine the heavy cream, optional powdered sugar, and chocolate hazelnut spread. Whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks, creating a luscious chocolate cream.
- Assemble the cups starting with a layer of the biscuit mixture. Follow this with a generous helping of the chocolate cream.
- Chop 5-6 of the chocolate truffles and sprinkle them over the cream layer for a surprise texture. Add another layer of the chocolate cream, then top it all off with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
- For the final flourish, decorate with chopped hazelnuts and a whole chocolate truffle.
- Allow the cups to chill for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure the perfect mousse consistency.
Enjoy this luxurious treat and let every spoonful take you on a decadent journey of chocolate and hazelnut bliss.
