Step 1

Melt the chocolate in a microwave and allow to cool slightly without setting.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the sugar, eggs and vanilla bean paste into the Thermomix bowl and whip *5 min/Butterfly/50°C/speed 4/MC OFF.*

Step 3

Remove the Butterfly. Add half of the cooled but still melted chocolate and blend with the egg mixture *10 sec/speed 6.*

Step 4

Fold in the remaining chocolate mixture using your silicone spatula. Keep folding until the mixture is glossy and totally combined. It may look like it is starting to split, but keep going. Remove this mixture from the Thermomix bowl and set aside, Cool the Thermomix bowl completely, even placing it into the fridge if necessary, without cleaning it.

Step 5

When the bowl is completely cold, place the cocoa and cream into the Thermomix bowl and whip cream *20-30 sec/Butterfly/speed 4* or until soft peaks are holding. Fold the cream into the chocolate mixture and divide between serving glasses.

Step 6

When ready to serve top with whipped or double cream and garnish with fruit, tempered chocolate curls or whatever you like. I used chocolate spoons that I have had for ages...how cute are they?
