Dark chocolate canneloni with almond and cocoa nib ice cream

This recipe combines the flavours of Brazil in a excitingly delicious dessert. Single Origin chocolate Brazil has a powerful cocoa body with nice fresh fruity hints. Perfect for pairing with exotic flavours such as pineapple and rounding it off with the creaminess of the almond crémeux. Making this recipe requires some advanced pastry skills, especially the chocolate cannelloni. It can be replaced with a ready-made chocolate cup, of course.
