Ingredients
 

Almond brittle

  • 100 g Chopped almonds
  • 120 g Sugar
  • 50 g Butter

Chocolate cream

  • 100 ml Cream
  • 0,5 Grated tonka beans
  • 20 g Butter
  • 75 g Dark couverture

the mango ragout

  • 0,5 Fresh mango
  • 2 tsp Muscovado sugar - but brown sugar is also possible

Instructions
 

Brittle

  • Melt the butter in a pan. Stir in sugar and almonds and let them brown. Put the mass on an oiled board, spread it (approx. 0.5 cm high) and let it solidify.

the chocolate cream

  • Whip the cream until stiff and rub in the tonka bean.
  • Crush the couverture and let it melt carefully in a water bath (about 36 degrees) together with the butter. (As soon as I notice that the chocolate is starting to melt, I take the vessel off the stove and stir until everything has melted.)
  • Mix the cream and couverture and pour into a piping bag.

....und dann

  • Break off pieces from the brittle plate and place one of each on a dessert plate.
  • Now sprinkle the chocolate cream on it and cover with another piece of brittle.

the mango ragout

  • For the mango ragout, peel the mango and remove the core. Cut half into cubes - use the other half for other purposes - and heat with the muscovado sugar and reduce a little.
  • Spread the still warm ragout around the brittle and chocolate cream turrets.
