This decadent chocolate dessert looks like a cake, but is prepared like a pudding. Thanks to its delicate yet compact structure, the "Budino" can be cut into pieces. This makes it the perfect bittersweet dessert for all chocolate lovers. The caramelised hazelnuts and a pinch of fleur de sel create the perfect balance of flavours with the chocolate.

How it's done

Budino

Put the milk, cream, sugar, cocoa, agar-agar and salt in a pan, whisk well, bring to the boil while stirring. Reduce the heat, simmer for approx. 2 mins. Add the chocolate, stir until smooth, remove the pan from the heat. Pour the mixture through a sieve into the prepared cake tin, cool. Cover and chill for at least 6 hrs. (or overnight).

Caramelised hazelnuts

Roast the hazelnuts in a frying pan without fat for approx. 3 minutes, set aside. Bring the sugar and water to the boil in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Add the nuts, mix, place everything on baking paper, sprinkle with fleur de sel, cool.

To serve

Turn the Budino out onto a plate or platter, remove the baking paper. Dust the Budino with cocoa powder and garnish with the caramelised nuts.
