Would you expect a recipe published in a magazine called Chocolate to be awesome? It may look like a lot of steps but its really not difficult and you will be well rewarded! Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
4 teaspoons sugar |
4 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon pectin |
4 cups frozen mixed berries |
3/4 cup water |
4 teaspoons water |
1 cup milk |
3 tablespoons sugar |
4 egg yolks |
2 cups milk chocolate, grated |
2 cups 35% cream |
6 tablespoons pine nuts |
6 tablespoons flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes |
Directions:
1. RED BERRY JELLY: combine both amounts of sugar & pectin in a bowl.
2. Heat the fruit & both amounts of water in a saucepan over medium heat; when the fruit has thawed, add the sugar/pectin & mix well.

4. Pour into tall glasses & refrigerate.
5. CUSTARD: Bring milk & half the sugar to a boil in a saucepan.
6. Whip the egg yolks with the rest of the sugar in a bowl.
7. Whisk half the hot milk into the egg mixture; when fully incorporated, whisk in the rest.
8. Return the mixture to the saucepan, stirring over medium heat until it thickens slightly or a thermometer indicates 185F (85C).
9. Remove from heat; if necessary, use a hand mixer to smooth the custard.
10. Pour the hot custard into a bowl, add the chocolate, stirring to mix & cool to room temperature.
11. In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form; fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, using a spatula.
12. Spoon the custard into each glass over the berry layer & return to the fridge.
13. CRUMBLE: Toast the pine nuts on a baking sheet in a 300F (150C) oven until golden, about 5 minutes; let cool & coarsely chop.
