Chocolate vaults with golden filling: the unearthed fortune as a dessert.
Ingredients
- 400 ml whipping cream
- 4 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 1 orange (zest and juice)
- 80 g shelled pistachios
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 4 tbsp honey
- pinch of salt
- edible gold dust (optional, baking aisle)
Method
- Line a half-sphere silicone mold (8 halves) with a thin layer of melted dark chocolate. Let set in the fridge.
- Whip the cream until stiff. Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with sugar, orange zest and juice until creamy.
- Roughly chop the pistachios. Stir pistachios and honey into the yolk mixture.
- Fold in the whipped cream. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and gently fold into the mixture.
- Fill 4 half-spheres with parfait mixture, smooth the tops. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Remove chocolate domes from the mold. Fill each with a spoonful of parfait filling and seal with another half-sphere to create a vault.
- Optionally dust the tops with edible gold dust.
- Place a chocolate 'vault' on each plate and break it open at the table.
Serving notes
- Serve with a small chocolate hammer or spoon to break open the 'vault'.
- Garnish with extra pistachios for a 'money' effect.
- Sprinkle gold dust around the vault for extra scandal.
