- eggs - 2
- To garnish:
- coconut cream - whipped
- chocolate - 80% dark, shaved
Method
- Add the pure cream (300g) into the bowl. Program 9 minutes / 90C / Speed 2. Place internal steaming basket on top of the lid to prevent spatters. Watch closely so the cream does not boil over.
- Set aside in a heatproof jug. Keep warm.
- Wash and dry the mixer bowl quickly to cool it. Work quickly, as you don't want your cream to cool too much.
- Add the dark chocolate pieces (200g), xylitol (30g), vanilla extract (1/2 tsp), peppermint essence (3/4 tsp) and salt (pinch) to the bowl. Chop Speed 7 / 5 seconds.
- Insert the whisk attachment. Add the eggs (2) to the bowl. Turn the machine on to Speed 4. Slowly drizzle the warm cream through the hole in the lid to melt the chocolate. Once all the cream is added, continue to mix until smooth.
- Pour mixture into 6 small ramekins or serving bowls. Cover and place into the fridge for 8 hours.
- Serve topped with whipped coconut cream and shaved dark chocolate.
- Enjoy!
