Ingredients

75ml brandy

for the custard
570ml double cream
75g cocoa powder
5 egg yolks
50g caster sugar
1 tsp cornflour

for the crumble
40g cold butter diced
60g self raising flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder
50g demerara sugar
75g whole almonds (skin on is ok)

to finish
cocoa powder
1 tbsp edible red or gold iridescent sugar sparkles

a 1 litre baking dish

put cherries and brandy in a saucepan and bring to simmering point. then turn off and leave to soak for an hour

whisk the cream and cocoa together in a saucepan then bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce heat and simmer very gently for 10 minutes

then whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour together in a a bowl then whisk in the hot chocolate cream then immediately return to the heat to get to simmering point to thicken it.
when it is ready pour in the cherries and brandy
put in a baking dish and leave to cool

place flour butter cocoa and sugar in a food processor give it a whizz until it resembles breadcrumbs
then add the almonds and process until they are chopped...but not too much


preheat the oven to 180
sprinkle the crumble mix over the custard
bake for 35 minutes

no problem

boiler is still not fixed but currently working..it is on off on off working
and the gas repair people therefore seem to be unable to find what the problem is...

Ps ...now that I wrote out the recipe I really want to make this crumble myself...never made a crumble with a custard base before!
