Chocolate and berries with salt, spice and avocado pudding

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes, plus setting time

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

450 g good-quality dark chocolate
2 T butter
2 T sugar
3/4 cup cream
1 cup fresh mixed berries
2 t chopped mint
1 t smoked salt, for sprinkling
1 t ground chilli, for sprinkling

For the avocado pudding, blend:

1 ripe avocado
2 t lemon juice
3 Peppadews
2 T olive oil

Method

In a saucepan over a low heat, melt the chocolate and butter. In a separate saucepan, bring the sugar and cream to a boil, then add to the melted chocolate.

Transfer to a medium-sized roasting tray or rectangular plastic container and allow to set.

Mix the berries and chopped mint together and arrange on a platter.

Run a hot spoon along the length of the set chocolate to form a large curled “rose”. Arrange this on the platter.

Spoon the avocado pudding into a piping bag or nozzled plastic bottle and squeeze onto the serving plate.

Finish with a sprinkle of smoked salt and ground chilli.
