chocolat faux brulee...

Chocolate.gif

That's the best name we can come up with. I was inspired by the chocolate cake thing I made earlier this week. I wanted to see how much chocolate I could get into one dish. I think this easily is competition for the River Cafe chocolate nemesis cake and Bruce Bogtrotter's cake. Best of all, it takes a few minutes to make. Don't be put off by the ingredients, it is fantastic. This should make about 4 or 5 servings. I don' think the measures are set in stone, and I think you could just add a bit more of everything to make a couple more servings if you wanted to. The servings seem very small, aim for something around the size of an expresso cup, but are more than enough. You will need:

100gm of Toblerone [broken into pieces]
one Mars Bar [roughly broken up]
a good slug of kirsch, or any other liqueur you think will go with chocolate
142 ml tub of double cream
150gms of good quality dark chocolate

Put the Toblerone, Mars Bar, 50gms of the dark chocolate and cream into a bowl and microwave it all in 30 seconds bursts, stirring it together at the end of each burst. Keep going until it is smoothly melted. Add the kirsch. Make sure it is fully blended into the chocolate. Pour the chocolate into the serving pots. While the chocolate is cooling melt the remaining dark chocolate in a separate bowl in the microwave. Again do it in 30 seconds burst, stirring a the end of each burst, until it is smoothly melted down. Pour a very, very thin layer over the top of the chocolate mixture, covering completely. Let it all cool. I wouldn't put this in the fridge. I have been thinking about what else to do with this, and I think you could put two or three cherries that have been soaked in kirsch in the bottom of each pot before pouring over the chocolate mixture, or if you prefer on top of it all. If you make it, let me know what you think. Good luck.

OK, so you're now sending me on a hunt through the house for anything containing chocolate. Pure evil, that is. I cannot be held responsible for my own actions when it comes to chocolate...

Note: I wouldn't be able to follow your recipe. The ingredients would disappear before I'd be able to get the chance to use them. Must be the work of some mythical creatures...

I got sugar sweats just reading the recipe. Gonna give it a try soon. I made the River cafe chocolate nemesis a while ago, and their lemon/almond/polenta cake. Great deserts!
