Winning chocolate pudding
Serves: 6
Ingredients
For the chocolate cremaux
335g 70% dark chocolate
90g unsalted butter
60g caster sugar
3 whole eggs
For the sable biscuit
2 egg yolks
84g icing sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Pinch of table salt
84g unsalted butter at room temperature
115g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
For the raspberry jelly
225g/1 punnet raspberries
Gelatine powder (570ml liquid per 12g sachet)
For the honeycomb
100g caster sugar
20g honey
1 heaped tsp Bicarbonate of soda
Chantilly cream to serve.
Method
Preheat the oven to 110c
Place ramekins into shallow baking tray and put to one side
Place a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water to create a bain marie, then melt the chocolate and butter together
Whisk the whole eggs and sugar together in another bowl, and then pour the hot melted chocolate and butter over the eggs continually whisking to combine
Pour the mixture evenly into ramekins, roughly 50g into each. You can use a piping bag to be precise.
Pour water around the ramekins in the tray until it reaches half way up the side and transfer to the oven and cook for 30 minutes until set
For the sable biscuit
Preheat the oven to 170c
Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla, salt and icing sugar together until smooth
Gradually add the softened butter continually beating before folding in the flour and baking powder
Roll between two sheets of greaseproof until 3mm thick, cut into rounds with a chefs ring and place onto a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes at 170c
For the raspberry jelly
Gently heat the raspberries and sugar in a saucepan until the raspberries have broken down
Remove from the heat and pass through a sieve to remove the seeds
Add the correct amount of gelatine powder and whisk until dissolved - you will need one 12g sachet per 570ml liquid
Place the whole raspberries into moulds and pour the jelly over. Leave to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours ideally overnight
For the honeycomb
Gently heat the sugar and honey in a saucepan until you reach 145c then whisk in the bicarbonate of soda before turning out onto a lined baking tray
To serve place the biscuit on the plate, top with the chocolate cremaux, the raspberry jelly, Chantilly cream and honeycomb
