Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation method for chocolate mousse

Whip the cream until half stiff and place in the refrigerator.
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie.
Boil water together with sugar for 3 minutes until you get a syrup.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Whisk the egg yolks.
Pour the syrup in a thin stream onto the whipped egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is cold and pale.
Add the melted chocolate to this and stir.
Fold in half of the whipped cream.
Pour this mixture into the cold bowl with the rest of the whipped cream.
Mix well together.
Scoop the chocolate mousse onto a plate and store in the refrigerator.

Preparation method for caramelized nuts

Melt the cane sugar in a non-stick pan or cast iron pot without stirring.
Mix in the nuts.
Pour out onto a marble slab or baking sheet and let the nuts cool. Try not to taste! They are super hot, burn baby burn.

Finishing touches

Coarsely chop the cooled hazelnuts.
Put 1 tablespoon of sour cream in a bowl.
Scoop the passion fruit into it and mix with the sour cream.
Decorate the chocolate mousse with nuts, passion fruit cream, sprigs of lemon balm, fleur de sel, and olive oil.
Enjoy immediately!
