Dark Chocolate Cremeux

Ingredients

• 4 Whole Eggs (220g)
• 300 g Whole Milk
• 300 g Double Cream / Heavy Cream
• 15 g Sugar
• Pinch of Salt
• 400 g Dark Chocolate (70%)

Instructions

1. Whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, cream and salt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until it reaches around 80C . Whisk the mixture constantly, being careful not to scramble it!
2. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the chocolate (or you can sieve the mixture over a jug of chocolate).
3. Let it sit for 2 minutes then whisk it or use a hand blender until smooth. Add a pinch of flaky salt to finish.
4. Cover the surface of the cremeux and chill for 6 hours or overnight, then use! Don’t whisk it, you can use it straight from the fridge.
