This dessert came to my mind one night when I had visitors at home and I did not have time to prepare something very special! Off course when my frinds visit, they expect something completely original.So I thought to fill some choux with pistachio butter, put them in cups of coffee and coat them with chocolate mousse!
The result was simply magical!
Tip: I used nut butter from pistachios that you can make home if you have a thermomechanic device or get ready in a jar (click here).
But you can also use regular peanut butter that you can easily find in the supermarket.
