Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
