Claire Saffitz Teaches How To Make Delicious Chocolate Coupes | Dessert Person
Drinking out of—or even just holding—a coupe glass makes me feel ritzy and Gatsby-
esque, so I love that a coupe isn’t just for gimlets or champagne; it’s also a category
of dessert (often involving ice cream and fruit, but just as often not—it’s a little vague).
I knew "What's For Dessert" needed a homey, straightforward chocolate pudding that was
delicious enough to be served all on its own, but I felt like dressing it up into a fancier,
celebration-worthy dessert, so I layer it with cookies and cream in coupe glasses.
Intermingled with the pudding, the chocolate wafers and whipped cream (which,
together, recall the classic “refrigerator roll” on the box of Nabisco Famous Chocolate
Wafers—a dessert I love) make a texturally varied and balanced dessert. The coupe
glasses make it a party!
