Chocolate mousse, sabayon, marshmallow and passion fruit
For this recipe, chef Lieven Lootens found inspiration in South Africa. He uses ostrich eggs and the typical South African Amarula liqueur, made from the fruits of the elephant tree, for the sabayon. Sure you can replace the ostrich eggs with regular ones. The taste sensation you'll create with this recipe touches every taste bud. The fruity acidity in combination with the overwhelming chocolate flavours works extremely well.
