Chocolate soil

A rose by any other name, right? Chocolate 'soil' just means chocolate crumble, but this nickname comes from its use as the 'ground' for many desserts. Sprinkle on a plate and top it with anything from panna cotta to a scoop of your favourite ice cream.

Cook's Notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
