they just showed this on MasterChef Australia (well actually I think the episode was shot back in April) - I think what they said was that it's a specialty of guest pastry chef Darren Purchese (but not that he invented it) - anyway, pretty neat!

((well worth watching the entire episode and see how amazingly well some people were able to replicate it, and others, unsurprisingly not so much...))

If you want an English language instruction, Ann Reardon did this in her How To Cook That series.

Initially I was going to link to the Ann Reardon video, but she is using SO MUCH chocolate for everything in the dish, so I searched for another

You say "so much chocolate" like that's a problem.

Haha, this is funny, but no, I meant no offence to any chocolate-lovers or other disadvantaged groups or people
