If there are any lumps in your mousse mixture, pass through a coarse sieve into a large bowl; discard any solids. Refrigerate 1 Hour or until firm.
Transfer mousse to a disposable pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe mousse into chocolate cups to fill; garnish with hazelnuts and shaved chocolate.
