1
For the ice cream, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and malt extract until thoroughly combined

  • 20g of sugar
  • 40g of malt extract
  • 200ml of buttermilk

Bring the milk to the boil and slowly whisk into the egg mixture. Pour back into a pan and heat to 80°C, stirring continuously. Pass through a chinois (or a fine strainer) straight into a bowl set over ice
3
Once chilled, pour into a paco jet container and freeze until hard. Use the paco jet to process just before serving. Alternatively, use a traditional ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions

For the bitter ganache, boil the double cream and pour over the chocolate pistoles. Stir gently until completely melted and emulsified. Place in the fridge to set

For the chantilly, bring the 400ml of water to the boil and pour over the 450g of chocolate in a large metal bowl. Stir until completely melted. Place the bowl on top of a bowl of ice and whisk until thick and aerated. Spoon into a container and keep in the fridge until needed
6
Mix all of the ingredients for the chocolate soil together well and spread evenly onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 160°C/gas mark 3 for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Once cooked, leave to cool then store in an airtight container
7
Remove the ganache from the fridge and allow to come up to room temperature. Spoon onto the bottom of each bowl, followed by the soil. Quenelle the Chantilly into the bowls and sprinkle it with cocoa nibs, Add a quenelle of ice cream onto each bowl. Add a spoonful of buttermilk and scatter some torn mint leaves over the plate
