Dip through the intense chocolate for the bittersweet butterscotch underneath. If you can’t find chocolate with a high cocoa content, you can always add a tablespoon or two of powdered cocoa to the ganache.

Ingredients

300ml pouring cream
1½ tbsp treacle
40g butter
170g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), grated or broken into small pieces
2–3 tbsp whisky, to taste

Preparation

To make butterscotch, place 150ml cream in a small frying pan over medium heat and bring just to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a further 10 minutes or until reduced by half, taking care mixture doesn’t boil over. Stir in the treacle and butter, and simmer for a further 4 minutes. Carefully spoon into 8 espresso cups and set aside.

To make whisky ganache, place remaining 150ml cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring just to the boil. Working quickly, stir in chocolate, then remove from heat and stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then stir in whisky to taste. Spoon into the espresso cups, season with sea salt and leave at room temperature for 1 hour or until set.

Serve with tea or coffee.

Hot Tips

Preserving

Vinegar is one of the main preservatives used in Filipino cooking and therefore dishes cooked adobo or sinigang-style preserve well due to the effect of vinegar. Both these dishes will keep for several days in the fridge and are often made in large batches, then reheated.

Glossary

Arrowroot

Extract of the maranta root it is a flavourless starch, ideally used for thickening sauces, juices and syrups; when heated the starch turns to jelly and so thickens the liquid.
