Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 150 grams mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 grams dark chocolate shavings
- 6 leaves mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate. Place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of heavy cream over low heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create the chocolate ganache.
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature while you prepare the other components.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the remaining 150 ml of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Using a fork, gently mash the mixed berries with granulated sugar in a small bowl, leaving some chunks for texture.
Layer the dessert: Start by spooning a layer of chocolate ganache into the bottom of serving glasses or bowls. Follow with a layer of crushed berries, then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top and garnish with mint leaves.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your 'Loved Up' dessert with someone special!
