Crostini are more familiar to us from Italian cuisine in a savoury version with garlic and vegetable toppings. However, our recipe proves that slices of bread toasted in olive oil also harmonise very well with a mousse made from nougat chocolate and cream. Rounded off with a pinch of sea salt, an exciting dessert is created in no time at all that appeals to the taste buds in a variety of ways.

01
Cut the baguette into thin slices. Briefly heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and fry half of the baguette slices on both sides until crispy. Pour some more olive oil into the pan and repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
02
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl. Bring the cream to the boil, pour over the chocolate and stir with a whisk until smooth.
03
Leave the mixture to cool. Then whisk with a hand mixer to form an fluffy mousse.
04
Break the crostini into pieces and divide between 4 plates. Shape the mousse into small quenelles (dumplings) and arrange on the plates. Serve sprinkled with olive oil, sea salt and cocoa powder.
