Method

  1. Melt the after eight mints
  2. Separate the eggs and whisk the whites until stiff but not dry and add the sugar gradually, whisking all the time.
  3. Whip the cream until it holds in soft peaks
  4. Combine egg yolks and melted chocolate and whisk in the cream
  5. Finally fold in the egg whites and sugar mixture lightly but thoroughly
  6. Pour into a tin with greaseproof paper on the bottom. This should be an 8 inch tin and
  7. Freeze overnight
  8. Turn out on a plate to serve - a round bladed knife and a hot cloth round the edge of the tin often helps.
  9. Decorate with remaining after eights around the edge and grated chocolate on the top immediately prior to serving.
