I really, really wanted to love this. So much in fact that despite taking the custard mix a poofteenth over 85 degrees and getting a hint of oiliness AND the packet of old pomegranate jelly in the cupboard not setting with the rapsberry jelly, that I went back to the shops and spent another $40 to start all over again. The second time I made 3/4 of the chocolate mix having seen how much it made. I split it into 10 glasses instead of 9. They were still pretty big serves for such a rich dessert.

If I was to do it again, I would use much smaller glasses. It is very, very rich. Only one guest managed to eat a whole serve, and she has 2 dedicated dessert stomachs. Others just ate the jelly and raspberries.
The cremeux set much more firmly that I expected. It sort of sat up and pillowed a bit, not like the video (I know, nothing ever looks just like the video) where it flowed out of the bag into the glasses like silk and settled into a flat bed. I don't know if it was my cream (I used whipping cream because we can't get heavy cream here but it is 35% fat) or the chocolate I used Cadbury milk cooking and Lindt 58% couverture callets).

There were a lot of ooohs when I put the desserts out; but not so many when it was being eaten. Anyway I used a bunch of different techniques and learnt heaps. Thanks Ann!
