1 packet
roasted almonds
(Contains: Almond; )
2 bottle
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Dark Chocolate Chips
(Contains: Milk, Soy; May be present: Gluten, Peanuts, Sesame, Almond, Brazil Nut, Cashew, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Pecan, Pistachio, Walnut, Pine Nut. )
25 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
¼ cup
plain flour
(Contains: Gluten; )
1 tbs
brown sugar
¼ tsp
salt
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Cut butter into small cubes. In a medium bowl, add the plain flour, brown sugar and the butter. Using your fingertips, rub butter into flour and sugar, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Transfer to a lined oven tray and spread out in a single layer. Bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Keep the crumb slightly clumped together on the tray, if it's spread too thin it can burn!
While the crumb is baking, roughly chop roasted almonds. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast almonds, tossing until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In a medium heatproof bowl, add dark chocolate chips and the salt. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 the longlife cream over medium heat until just steaming, 2-4 minutes. Pour cream over chocolate and leave to sit for 1 minute, then gently stir until melted and combined. Set aside.
TIP: You want the cream steaming but not boiling!
In a large bowl, add remaining longlife cream and beat with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 4-5 minutes. Very gently fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until just combined.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk.
TIP: For the perfect soft peaks, whip until the cream just clings to the whisk or beater when lifted.
Divide chocolate mixture evenly between drinking glasses or jars. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Add almonds to butter crumb, toss to combine, then store in an airtight container. When you are ready to serve, top chocolate mousse pots with almond crumb.
TIP: Don't worry if the mixture is a little runny, it will set in the fridge!
