Method:

1. Line the bases of four ramekins (custard cups) with greaseproof (waxed) paper and divide the crushed biscuits between the dishes.

2. Gently melt the chocolate with the glycerin and amaretto in a bowl over a pan of hot water or in the microwave.

3. Whip the double cream until softly peaking. Stir 30 ml/2 tbsp of it into the chocolate mixture, then add the remainder, folding in with a metal spoon until well blended.

4. Turn into the ramekins and level the surfaces. Chill until set.

5. Run a round-bladed knife round the edge of each, cover with a serving plate and invert on to the plate. Remove the paper and serve with single cream.
