Cocoa Cups - stuff it with any dessert..

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
I was seriously  thinking of some stuffed sweet ideas, and I saw this Baked and filled khakhra cups from , Thank you so much Lataji for giving me this superb idea of Cocoa cups. Stuff any dessert in this and serve.... I am sure kids will not stop eating these cups with whatever you fill in the cups and give them.
I turned her Khakra cups into COCOA cups. Her Khakra cups are for stuffing spicy food, and mine are for stuffing sweet food.

Here is the recipe for making these lovely cups.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour(normal chapati flour is also fine) - 1 cup
All Purpose flour - 1/8 cup
Chiroti rawa or fine semolina - 1 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Cocoa Powder - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Pinch of salt
Water to make the dough.


Method :
(I have followed Lataji for the method)

  • Take all the ingredients in a large vessel, except water.
  • Mix well and go on adding water to make soft but stiff dough.
  • Keep it covered with damp cloth for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Grease the muffin tray.
  • Preheat the oven at 180C
  •  Now the time comes to make the very thin puri size discs.
  • What I did was, first I rolled medium thick discs. 
  • Cut it with bottle top to get the circle shape.
  • And again rolled each circle into a very thin puris. These should be very thin, otherwise cups will not come crispy.
  • Keep all the puris ready.
  • Take one puri and keep in in a mould to give a cup shape. Don't worry about the shape or curls you get in the cup.
  • Repeat with other puris.
  • Bake at 200C for 6 minutes.(Yes, thanks Lataji, the time was just perfect :-) )
  • Remove and spread the cups on mat or paper to cool.
  • Store in an airtight jar.

Now coming to the stuffing:
Stuff these cups with AAMRAS, OR CUSTARD, ICECREAM, SHRIKHAND, SWEET WHIPPED CREAM, FRUIT CUBES, OR JUST BRUSH WITH NUTELLA SPREAD BEFORE SERVING.
YUMMY COCOA CUPS FOR KIDS PARTY :-))))))
I am sure you all will love these cups...

Now that is a cute idea for kids parties Nivedita. I had suggested mini muffin trays for the khakhras as an alternative, but these sweet choco cups are just the right size for any dessert. Something like cone ice cream:)
