Instructions
Chocolate Mousse filling
Place the double cream in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment fitted. Whisk until the cream resembles a stiff peak. Cover and chill the cream until you proceed with the remaining steps.
Place the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in bursts of 30 seconds each, stirring in between until it is smooth. Set it aside to cool a bit.
In the meantime, place the egg white and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment fitted and whisk until you have a firm peak.
Fold the egg yolk into the double cream with a silicone spatula, until combined.
Pour in the melted chocolate and butter to the double cream mixture and fold it through.
Now add 1/3 of the beaten egg to the mixture and fold until incorporated.
Add the remaining beaten egg in 2 steps and fold until well incorporated.
Parfait Base
Place the digestive biscuits in a plastic zipper bag and seal it. Crush them
with a rolling pin and transfer the crumbs to a small bowl. Pour over the
melted butter and mix through.
Assembly
Divide the biscuit filling between 4 jars. Press it with the back of the spoon.
Spoon or pipe the chocolate mousse filling into the jars.
Allow it to set for a minimum of 4 hours.
Just before serving, pipe whipped cream, dust with edible gold dust (if using any) and decorate with Guylian Sea Shells or Guylian Sea Horses for a final finishing touch.
