Ingredients

• 250g good-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• 1 x 600ml carton thick custard
• 1 x 300ml carton thickened cream
• Chocolate, thickly grated, to serve

Method

1. Place the chocolate and custard in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
2. Use an electric beater to whisk the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add to the chocolate mixture and gently fold until just combined. Spoon evenly among eight 200ml-capacity serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate to serve.
