6 servings. Preparation time 40 minutes + 1 night to set

Crunchy nut base :

40g Dark Bitter Sweet chocolate chips  
65g chopped walnuts
25g brown sugar
5g butter

 Preparation :
Mix the chocolate in the blender together with the walnuts, the brown sugar and the butter until you have a thick and relatively homogenous mixture.

White Chocolate filling:

200g White Chocolate Chips   
3 egg yolks
100g sugar
150g milk
150g cream
1 vanilla pod
30g Amaretto

Preparation
Mix the milk with the cream. Split open the vanilla pod, scrape the pulp out and add this, together with the vanilla pod itself to the milk-cream mixture. Bring it quickly to the boil stirring all the time. Leave the milk-cream mixture to stand for a further ten minutes and then remove the vanilla pod.

In the meantime, beat the egg yolks and the sugar until you have an almost white mixture. Fold this carefully into the milk-cream mixture and heat it up in a bain-marie stirring gently until this crème is nicely thickened. Melt the white chocolate chips in the crème. Flavour with Amaretto. Mix a little longer and it’s ready to assemble.

Finishing
Spread the chocolate and nut mixture over the base of a baking tin, and carefully pour in the white chocolate filling. Leave the filled tin in the freezer at least overnight.
Remove the finished White Chocolate & Walnut Surprise from the tin one hour before you intend to serve it, and leave it to thaw in the fridge.
Decorate with a swirl of whipped cream, a few assorted chocolate decorationsor some threads of caramel.

Garnish the serving plate with some drops of Raspberry Dessert Topping
