Ingredients
Cheeky Chocolate Mousse
225 g good quality dark chocolate, bashed up
70 g butter, cut into pieces
350 ml double cream
2 large eggs, preferably organic
1 Tbsp. amaretto
2 Tbsp. good honey
Sesame Seed Toffee Snaps
445 g caster sugar
200 g pack of sesame seeds
Directions
Mousse
1. In a bowl over some gently simmering water, slowly, melt the chocolate and butter together then remove from the heat.
2. In a separate bowl, semi-whip the cream, until soft peaks; not too stiff.
3. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs and honey until light and fluffy, then fold in the amaretto, melted chocolate mixture and cream -- gently, so you don't lose too much air.
4. Pour into some small wineglasses or serving dishes and leave to chill for at least an hour before serving.
Toffee Snaps
1. Put sugar and 8 Tbsp. of water into a pan on a medium heat. Use a spoon to stir together -- it will become a syrup.
2. Carry on cooking until light golden, then add your sesame seeds and continue to cook until dark brown.
3. Pour out your sesame seed caramel on to an oiled non-stick tray or oiled tin-foil. Use a palette knife to push it out to about 0.5cm thick (even thinner if you can).
