Chocolate Rendezvous Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Truffle

    Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. Whip 100ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the melted chocolate. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set.

  2. 2

    Make the Chocolate Mousse

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. Heat the remaining 150ml of heavy cream in a saucepan until warm, then stir in the gelatin until dissolved. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold in the chocolate mixture and then the gelatin cream. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dessert

    In serving glasses, layer lady fingers at the bottom. Spoon in a layer of raspberry purée, followed by a layer of chocolate mousse. Top with chocolate truffle and garnish with fresh raspberries.
