Method

  1. Mix the caramel with the salt, divide between 2 small glasses and chill.
  2. Melt the chocolates together in a glass bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Snap the grissini into short lengths, then dip each end into the chocolate to coat a little. Sit on a wire rack for the chocolate to drip and set a little, then dip the chocolate ends into the sugar to coat. Sit in an airtight container lined with baking parchment and chill to set until ready to serve.
  3. Stir the double cream and milk into the remaining melted chocolate until smooth, then scrape into a jug. Slowly pour on top of the caramel, around the edges first. Chill the pots for at least 2 hrs, or up to 24 hrs.
  4. To serve, scatter a little more sea salt on top of each pot, then add one or two sugar-tipped grissini.

    made this tonight as it looked yummy, far too much ingredients and as i got the recipe from the magazine it states 85g each of dark and milk choc.... I managed about 1/4 of it would recommend serving in a shot glass as 2 spoonfuls are more than enough.. very sickly

    Could I swap the double cream & milk for greek yoghurt (to bring the calorie content down a little)?

    This recipe is extremely easy and delicious but is FAR too much for just two servings! Using these quantities I made 5 individual ramekins which were the perfect size considering the richness of this dish. I also left out the grissini sticks.

    Made this for valentines day dessert. Way too much for two servings, shot glasses next time. I also would leave out the salt or just a few grains as it gets a bit much after a few spoonfuls!

    Agree with other tasters that this could be halved and still happily serve two people. My fiance couldn't eat all of his, but fortunately I'm a chocoholic and was able to polish it off...!

    I agree with the other comments, this is very rich and the caramel is also not salty enough to be enough of a contrast. Loved the grissinis though - fab idea!!

    these are so easy to do and look really impressive, the only mistake I made was using medium/large glasses, it was far too much....It really is a less is more desert!
