   Butter a bowl and line with the roasted and chopped nuts (1). Mix caster
   sugar and butter, add egg yolks slowly. Add grated chocolate and ground
   nuts (2). Beat egg whites until stiff and gently fold into mixture. Turn
   into the lined bowl. Cover with a double layer of greaseproof paper with a
   folded pleat down the centre and tie firmly with string. A double strip of
   kitchen foil laid under the bowl and projecting up the sides will make
   lifting it out easier. Place bowl in a large saucepan 3/4 full of water and
   steam for 2 hours. Carefully turn out on to a serving plate. Just before
   serving, pour over some of the lightly whipped cream. Serve the remaining
   cream separately.
