Steps

  • Melt dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water without letting the bowl touch the water.
  • Heat chocolate to 42°C, then cool to 32°C before coating the seashell moulds.
  • Tidy the edges of the moulds with a scraper and save any unused chocolate.
  • Refrigerate the moulds for 20 minutes to set the chocolate shells.
  • Warm cream and muscovado sugar in a heavy-based pan over low heat.
  • Gently melt caster sugar in another pan until it becomes a dark golden-brown caramel.
  • Stir the warm cream mixture into the caramel, add sea salt, and cool until thick.
  • Fill each chocolate shell with a teaspoon of cooled caramel and chill until firm.
  • Melt white chocolate and spoon over the caramel to seal the shells.
  • Chill for 15 minutes then gently turn the chocolates out of the moulds.
