The MasterChef Australia guest judge and chocolatier shares a creamy, crunchy creation that can be made ahead of time At this time of year, I’m always drawn to desserts that feel a little more luxurious. Something rich and chocolatey with lots of texture and contrast.
This recipe brings together silky chocolate custard with crisp filo pastry in a creamy, crunchy combination. While you will need to start at least four hours ahead of time to allow the chocolate custard to set, it doesn’t demand hours of effort, and making the filo pastry in advance as well means assembly is quick and stress-free when it’s time to serve.
The custard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, while the cooled pieces of filo pastry can be kept in an airtight container for up to five days. Kirsten Tibballs appears as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia on Wednesday 24 June at 7.30pm.
