ingredients
- 200 gram Dark Chocolate
- 70 gram Yolk
- 50 gram Sugar
- 100 milliliter Strong Coffee
- 400 milliliter Double Cream
- 4 tbsp Your Favourite Spirit – Rum or Brandy Recommended
- 2 tbsp Golden Caster Sugar
Method
Step 1
The chocolate should be broken into small chunks; tip it into a bowl with the alcohol and coffee. 250ml of the cream should be brought to a boil; once done, pour it over the chocolate mixture and stir until the mixture has melted and has a smooth texture.
Step 2
The sugar and egg yolk should be beaten until the sugar dissolves. Take this and mix it with the chocolate mixture; following this, divide the mix into six and place in dome moulds. Leave in the refrigerator overnight to set.
Step 3
Take out of the fridge and coat with melted milk chocolate; edible flower, micro herbs and raspberry sauce can be used to decorate the plate. A scoop of salted caramel ice cream can be added, while a marinated mix of fresh berries and hazelnut crunch can be sprinkled on top.
