Pairs with

Dark chocolate with sea salt and olive oil wants a wine with the same intensity — a full-bodied red or a dessert wine with dark-fruit character.

Ingredients

  • 200g dark chocolate (70%), chopped
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 50g sugar
  • 200ml double cream
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Good olive oil for drizzling

Method

  1. 11. Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie. Cool slightly.
  2. 22. Whisk the yolks with half the sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold in the chocolate.
  3. 33. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
  4. 44. Whisk the egg whites with remaining sugar to stiff peaks. Fold in gently.
  5. 55. Divide into glasses. Chill at least 3 hours.
  6. 66. Top with sea salt and a thin drizzle of olive oil.
