Ingredients
- 300 g Dark chocolate
- 60 g Cornflakes
- 400 ml Milk
- 1 packet Vanilla pudding powder
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 150 ml Whipping cream
- Dragée eggs (for garnishing)
- 1 tbsp chopped pistachios
Instructions
- 1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- 2. Place the bowl over a pot of hot (not boiling) water (a double boiler setup) and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- 3. Remove the bowl from the pot and let the chocolate cool down slightly for a moment to thicken a bit.
- 4. Roughly crumble 50 grams of Corn Flakes using your hands or a spoon.
- 5. Fold the crumbled Corn Flakes into the melted chocolate until everything is evenly coated.
- 6. Line 10 to 12 tartlet molds (with a diameter of 10 to 12 centimeters) with plastic wrap so the nests can be easily removed later.
- 7. Place the chocolate-Corn-Flake mixture into the lined molds and smooth it out with a spoon or knife.
- 8. Place the molds in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate base has set firm.
- 9. Whisk 6 tablespoons of cold milk with the pudding powder in a small bowl until no lumps remain.
- 10. Bring the remaining milk together with the sugar to a boil in a saucepan.
- 11. Add the prepared milk-pudding mixture to the boiling milk and stir vigorously.
- 12. Let the pudding boil once more briefly to thicken, then remove it from the heat.
- 13. Cover the surface of the pudding directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and let it cool down completely.
- 14. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- 15. Stir the cooled pudding vigorously again to make it creamy.
- 16. Gently fold the stiffly whipped cream into the pudding until a homogeneous cream has formed.
- 17. Carefully release the set chocolate nests from the molds by lifting the plastic wrap.
- 18. Fill the chocolate nests with the pudding-cream mixture.
- 19. Garnish the filled nests with dragée eggs (sugar-coated almond or hazelnut kernels) just before serving.
- 20. Sprinkle the desserts with the remaining Corn Flakes and chopped pistachios for extra crunch.
