Method
- Pour the coconut cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Turn off the heat and add the chocolate. Leave for a minute and then mix together until the chocolate has melted. Pour into a blender.
- Remove the stones and any pieces of stalk from the dates and chuck them into the blender with the chocolate. Add a pinch of salt and blend until you have a lovely smooth. Divide between four or 6 glasses. Pop them into the fridge to firm up for 2 hours.
- Once the pots have set, put the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar into a heatproof mixing bowl and place over a pan of gently simmering water. Using electric beaters, whisk continuously for 6-8 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved and the egg whites have tripled in volume into a brilliant white mix. Remove from the heat and continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes or until you have medium peaks.
- Pipe or spoon the marshmallow over the chocolate pots and carefully blowtorch the tops for a few seconds until golden. Serve immediately.
