Method

  1. 1

    PREP
    Put the amaretti biscuits into a food bag, crush with a rolling pin and set aside. Roughly chop the dark chocolate.

  2. 2

    WARM
    Separate the eggs. Mix the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a small pan. Add the milk and mix well. Warm the mixture over a very low heat, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat just before it reaches boiling point.

  3. 3

    CHILL
    Chill the mixture by plunging the pan into a bowl of ice cold water. Then put the mixture into a bowl, cover with cling film and refrigerate.

  4. 4

    FOLD
    Whip the double cream and carefully fold it into the creamy mixture together with the amaretti and chopped chocolate.

  5. 5

    FREEZE
    Line a 20x10x5 cm loaf tin with cling film. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and transfer to the freezer for at least 12 hours.

  6. 6

    SERVE
    A couple of minutes before serving, dip the tin into cold water for a few seconds then turn it upside down on a serving plate. Remove the cling film and dust the dessert with cocoa powder.
    Decorate the pudding with chocolate shavings.
