Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Hazelnut Mascarpone Cups
  1. Prepare the cookie crust by crushing the chocolate cream sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of small glasses, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, chocolate hazelnut spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. Divide the filling among the chilled glasses, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Serve chilled, topping each cup with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves.
