Steps

  • Heat 150ml cream until simmering, then stir in dark chocolate pieces until smooth.
  • Cool for 15 minutes, add remaining 150ml cream, and whisk to soft peaks.
  • Whisk one egg white to stiff peaks, add caster sugar to create meringue, and fold into chocolate mixture.
  • Chill mousse until set.
  • Mix butter, icing sugar, and vanilla into a paste, then whisk in egg whites.
  • Fold in flour gradually with a wooden spoon.
  • Mix cocoa powder into one-sixth of the paste and rest both mixtures for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and line a tray with parchment.
  • Spread plain paste over templates to form nine shapes.
  • Pipe chocolate paste patterns onto the shapes and bake for 5-6 minutes.
  • Drape warm tuiles over a rolling pin to create curved shapes immediately after baking.
  • Bake nine more plain tuiles and roll around spoon handles to form cigars.
  • Dip set cigars into melted plain chocolate.
  • Flatten a spoonful of paste to 8cm circles and bake to form baskets over ramekins.
  • Fill baskets with mousse and serve with curved and cigar tuiles.
