Maya Gold Chocolate Popcorn by Joanne Harris and Fran Warde from The Little Book of Chocolat

This easy to make treat celebrates the two most venerated foods of the Mayan and Aztec culture – maize and chocolate, for a deliciously salty-sweet combination.

Serves 8

Takes 3 hours

Ingredients

50g maize or popcorn

150g dark chocolate broken into small, even-sized pieces

150g milk chocolate broken into small, even-sized pieces

100ml double cream

1 tsp crystal sea salt

22 x 12cm loaf tin

Μύ

Method

Line a 22 x 12cm loaf tin with cling film

If using maize heat it in a popcorn machine, the microwave or in a pan over a medium heat until the maize bursts into popcorn.

In two separate bain-maries melt the dark and milk chocolate

Then when melted, add half the cream to each and quickly blend in until the mixture stiffens.

Pour both on to the popcorn, then add Β½ tsp of the crystal sea salt and mix until all the popcorn is coated.

Place in the lined loaf tin and press down. Then sprinkle the top with the remaining salt.

Put in the fridge to cool and set for at least 2Β½ hours.

Remove from the tin, peel away the cling film and slice with a large, sharp knife.

Μύ

Nigel’s Top Tips:

You can mix the 2 chocolates together before melting.

Make sure there's something for your bowl to rest on in the bain-marie, so it's not touching the bottom of the pan.
