This dark chocolate pâté is elegant enough for a dinner party but also incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
168 g good quality dark chocolate
2/3 cup 35% cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
Line bottom and sides of a small (6 × 3.5-in.) loaf pan with a large piece of plastic wrap, letting wrap hang over sides of pan.
Microwave chocolate, cream, butter and sugar in a large bowl on medium. Heat for 3 min, stirring occasionally. Pour into prepared pan. Smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours. To serve, let stand about 1 hour. Slice into pieces and serve with cocoa powder, whipped cream, figs, blueberries and blackberries. Pâté keeps well, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
Equipment tip
A disposable tinfoil mini-loaf pan is the perfect size for this recipe. Pâté can also be made in a pot on the stove; use medium heat.
