Method:

- In a separate bowl, semi-whip the cream (until soft peaks; not too stiff).
- In a third bowl whisk the eggs and honey until light and fluffy then fold in the Amaretto, melted chocolate mixture and cream - gently, so you don't lose too much air.
- Pour into some small wineglasses or serving dishes and leave to chill for at least an hour before serving.
- Decorate with chocolate curls if liked you could use a crumbled Flake bar.
