Serves: 6

2011-11-02

Ingredients

For the mousse

  • 225g plain chocolate
  • 70g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 350ml double cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • 2 tbsp brandy

For the sesame caramel

  • 4 tbsp water
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 100g sesame seeds

Method

Start this recipe by making the chocolate brandy mousse. Melt the chocolate and the butter together in a pan over boiling water, and remove from heat. In a bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks and put to one side. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs with the honey together until light and fluffy. Fold in the orange zest and brandy, followed by the melted chocolate mixture and then the whipped cream. You should have a rich, glossy chocolate brandy mousse. Pour the mousse into 4 tall glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the sesame caramel by putting the water and caster sugar together in a saucepan. Turn on the heat, and leave to bubble for about 5 minutes, till you have lightly golden caramel. Add in the sesame seeds, mix well and continue to cook till the caramel until it has turned a darker shade of golden brown. When ready, immediately pour the sesame caramel onto an oiled piece of greaseproof paper and flatten with a palette knife. (Do not touch the hot caramel with your fingers as it will burn). Once the sesame caramel is evenly flattened out, leave it to cool and harden for 20 minutes. When you are ready to serve, remove the chilled chocolate brandy cups from the fridge. Break up the hardened sesame caramel and place 2 pieces on the top of each glass.

Tazzi biċ-ċikkulata l-brandy bil-karamel tal-gunglien

Ingredients

  • 225g ċikkulata skura
  • 70g butir bla melħ, imqatta’ f’biċċiet
  • 350ml krema doppja
  • 2 bajdiet; 2 mgħaref għasel
  • il-qoxra maħkuka ta’ 2 larinġiet
  • 2 mgħaref brandy

Method

Ibda mill-mousse taċ-ċikkulata u l-brandy. Dewweb iċ-ċikkulata u l-butir flimkien banjumarija u neħħihom minn fuq in-nar meta jkunu lesti. Ħabbat il-krema doppja fi skutella biex ittellagħha u warrabha f’ġenb. Fi skutella oħra ħabbat il-bajd u l-għasel flimkien sakemm ikollok taħlita ratba. Żid il-qoxra maħkuka tal-larinġa, il-brandy, it-taħlita taċ-ċikkulata mdewba u l-krema mħabbta. Suppost li jkollok mousse magħqud. Itfgħu f’6 tazzi twal u kessaħhom għal tal-anqas siegħa. Sadattant, agħmel il-karamel tal-ġunġlien billi titfa’ l-ilma u z-zokkor fin flimkien f’kazzola. Ixgħel in-nar u ħalli t-taħlita tbaqbaq għal madwar 5 minuti, sakemm ikollok karamel dehbi ċar. Żid il-ġunġlien, ħawwad tajjeb u kompli sajjar sakemm il-karamel jiskura. Meta jkun lest, itfgħu dritt fuq karta forn imdellka biż-żejt u llixxah b’paletta. (Tmissx il-karamel b’subgħajk għax tinħaraq). Ħallih jiksaħ u jibbies għal 20 minuta. Meta tkun se sservi, oħroġ it-tazzi biċ-ċikkulata u l-brandy mill-friġġ. Farrak il-karamel f’biċċiet kbar u poġġi biċċtejn fil-wiċċ ta’ kull tazza.
