  • 50g egg yolk
  • 20g Sugar
  • 60g dark chocolate
  • Poached Rhubarb

Method 

Dark Chocolate Cream
Begin by combining whole milk and double cream into a saucepan and bring to the boil, once at boiling point pour over the egg yolks and sugar – whisk together and return to the saucepan and place onto a very low heat, continuously stirring until the mixture begins to resemble a thick shiny custard. When the mixture is ready, pour over the dark chocolate and butter and combine with a whisk, once fully combined pour into bowls of choice and set in fridge for 3-4 hours.

Poached Rhubarb
Combine rosé, sugar, vanilla, orange zest and ginger to a saucepan and bring to boil. Once boiled, add sticks of rhubarb and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow rhubarb to cool down in the syrup.

Chantilly Cream
Whisk cream, sugar and vanilla together until cream holds a stiff peak.

To Finish
Remove bowls of chocolate from the fridge 10 minutes before serving, top with wedges of poached rhubarb, Chantilly cream and crushed pistachios, serve with a glass of Wiston rosé NV and enjoy!
