Method

For the Chocolate Mousse

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Whip the Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and frothy.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Carefully fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined. Add a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mousse

    Pour the mousse mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

For the Crème Anglaise

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vanilla

    Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.

  2. 6

    Heat the Dairy

    In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, vanilla seeds, and the vanilla pod. Heat over medium heat until just below boiling.

  3. 7

    Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale.

  4. 8

    Combine and Thicken

    Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Strain through a fine sieve and cool.

For the Pistachio Crumble

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Finely chop the pistachios and mix with flour, butter, and sugar in a bowl until crumbly.

  3. 11

    Bake the Crumble

    Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.

For the Raspberry Sauce

  1. 12

    Cook the Raspberries

    In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
