Chocolate Budino

Chantilly

Gluten Free Cocoa Nib Sablé

Method

Chocolate Budino

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the Bahibé milk chocolate and 100ml of heavy cream. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Custard Mixture

    In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract together. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the egg yolk mixture is tempered, pour it back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Make sure it doesn’t boil.

  4. 4

    Mix in Chocolate

    Remove from heat and stir in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into serving cups or ramekins.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Fresh Berries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Berries

    While the budino is chilling, wash the mixed berries gently under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.

Chantilly

  1. 7

    Make the Chantilly

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Gluten Free Cocoa Nib Sablé

  1. 8

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the almond flour, cocoa nibs, and a pinch of salt, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 9

    Chill and Bake

    Shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the chilled dough into rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are firm.
