Gino teaches self-confessed kitchen flop Kirsty Meecham how to make a delicious chocolate Valentine's Day dessert for her partner Chris James.
Ingredients
- 250 g8¾ oz good quality dark chocolate (chopped)
- 4 eggs
- 1 un-waxed orange
- 200 g7 oz raspberries
- 4 tbsp Amaretto liquor
Method: How to make Chocolate cream with raspberries and orange zest
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring that the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Set aside to cool but don't let it harden.
In the meantime, separate the egg yolk from the whites and place in 2 dry, clean bowls.
Whisk only 2 of the egg whites until they're stiff.
Beat the egg yolks together with the juice and zest of the orange and Amaretto liquor for 2 minutes.
With a metal spoon, gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolks mixture a little at the time.
Lastly, fold in the egg whites mixing all the ingredients together.
Divide the raspberries between 4 dessert glasses (each about 250ml).
Pour the chocolate mixture over the raspberries and decorate with more orange zest on top.
Serve immediately.
