- 100 g good-quality salted dark chocolate, chopped I used Lindt Excellence Sea Salt, if you use an unsalted variety add a pinch of flaky sea salt to the chocolate cream.
- 100 ml double cream
- 1 large egg yolk
Heat the cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer at the edges. Put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the cream over. Gently stir until melted and smooth. (If your chocolate is unsalted, add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.)
Beat the egg yolk in a separate bowl and quickly whisk into the chocolate cream. Spoon the mixture into three glasses or small ramekins. Chill in the fridge for an hour or so, or until set.
Garnish with a couple of raspberries and attack with a teaspoon.
