Step 1

Remove 2 squares of chocolate and finely grate them. Set aside for the garnish.

Step 2

Break the remaining chocolate into a pan, pour in the brandy and cream, and heat gently until the chocolate is melted and well incorporated. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Spoon the mascarpone into a large bowl. Stir well so it is a smooth paste, then gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Pour into your shot glasses or espresso cups. Sprinkle the grated chocolate on top and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled.
