PREPARATION TIME:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 35 g sugar
- 125 g thickened cream
- 125 g dark chocolate
- 10 g butter
- 3 eggs separated
- 1 tablespoon Cointreau or Grand Marnier optional
Instructions:
Add sugar to the Thermomix bowl. Mill for 10 seconds / speed 9. set aside.
Insert the butterfly attachment. Add the cream to the bowl and whip for around 1 – 1:30 minutes / speed 3. Watch it carefully from 30 seconds onwards and keep an eye out for the texture changing. You want it to be thick and fluffy. Set aside.
Break the chocolate into pieces and add to the bowl with the butter. Melt for 4 minutes / 50 degrees / speed 2. Check that it is fully melted, if not repeat for a further 1-2 minutes.
Add the egg yolks, whipped cream and Cointreau/Grand Marnier (if using). Mix for 15 seconds / speed 4. Set the mixture aside in a large bowl.
Now clean and thoroughly dry the bowl and insert the butterfly attachment.
Add the egg whites and whisk for 90 seconds / speed 3.5.
Add the sugar and continue to whisk for a further 1 minute / speed 3.5.
Use a spatula or spoon to fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. You want it to be well mixed but don’t over mix it. You want to keep it light and airy.
Divide the mixture into serving bowls and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
Top with whipped cream and grated chocolate to serve.
Notes:
Cream – make sure you use cream that is suitable for whipping. Not cooking cream. If you over-whip it, it can split so keep a close eye on it when whipping it.
Chocolate – I find 70% cocoa solid chocolate works best.
Eggs – be careful when you separate the eggs that there is not a trace of egg yolk in your egg whites or they will not whisk properly.
