BOOZY CHOCOLATE CUSTARDS

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 / electric oven I 80°C.
• Place the cream and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil over a moderate heat.
• Remove from the heat, add the chocolate pieces and stir until the chocolate has melted.
• Combine the egg yolks, eggs, demerara sugar and rum or brandy in a bowl and whisk gently to combine.
• Pour the chocolate cream over the egg mixture, whisk to combine and then pass through a sieve. Grease the ramekin dishes and spoon the chocolate custard into the dishes.
• Place the ramekin dishes in a roasting dish and pour boiling water into the roasting dish so that it is halfway up the sides of the ramekin dishes.
• Bake in the bottom of the oven, for 20-25 minutes or until the custard is set and firm to a gentle touch. Chill the custards, for 2 hours.
• Put the whipped cream in a piping bag with a star nozzle. Decorate the mousses with cream rosettes and chocolate curls.
