Total time: 60 min
Yield: 35
Ingredients: 400 g plain flour; 180 g powdered sugar; 1 egg; 150 g ground walnuts; 250 g cold butter; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 300 g ground walnuts; 100 g powdered sugar; 50 ml hot milk; 50 ml rum (or to taste); 3 eggs; 160 g powdered sugar; 250 g softened butter; 2.5 tablespoons cocoa; 200 g dark chocolate; 100 g butter; 1.5 tablespoons oil; tart jam (ideally blackcurrant or sour cherry)

Preparing the dough Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl. Add the egg, lemon juice, ground walnuts and cold butter cut into pieces. Quickly work into a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Shaping and baking the cups Take small pieces of dough and press them into dry molds so that a hollow remains in the center. Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180–190 °C for 12–15 minutes. After baking, unmold them while still hot and let cool.

Nut filling Mix the hot milk with the walnuts and sugar, heat briefly and remove from the heat. Add the rum and let cool completely.

Chocolate cream Heat the eggs, sugar and cocoa over a double boiler and whisk until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from the steam and let cool completely. Whip the butter until fluffy and gradually incorporate the cooled cocoa mixture. Beat until smooth.

Filling the cups Spread jam inside the cooled cups. Fill with the nut mixture (about 1 teaspoon per cup). Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then pipe the chocolate cream onto the nut filling and chill again for 30–60 minutes.

Chocolate glaze Melt the chocolate, butter and oil in a double boiler and let rest for 5 minutes. Dip the creamy part of the cups into the chocolate – work quickly so the cream doesn't start to melt. Place them in the fridge as you go.
