chocolatey goodness for Valentine's Day
Easy and impressive for a Valentine's treat. It's a really versatile recipe and can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled for maximum pleasure.
Ingredients:
*double cream and
*chocolate (dark, milk or white) in equal quantities (i.e. 100ml cream/100g choc; 1 fl oz/1 oz or as much as you want/can afford...

plus any flavourings etc alcohol-based is good (Bailey's, rum, brandy, amaretto, dodgy looking liqueurs from Christmas)
What to do:
heat cream in a pan till it bubbles around the edge.
take off the heat.
chop the chocolate and add to the hot cream.
stir till the chocolate is melted.
add flavouring, but not too much
How to use this wondrous food:
If you manage to avoid eating it all with a spoon straight away...
- Use as a hot sauce or chill and reheat later.
- Cool to room temperature and whisk to a mousse - use a cake filling/topping etc.
- Pour into shot glasses, chill and top with a bit of cream for a posh pud - great for Valentine's - a shot glass is enough to look trendy, provide a lush pud and just enough choc to avoid substantial weight gain by your partner!
- Chill till firm, roll into balls and then in cocoa for truffles.
I have used this for the ultimate choc cake - mousse as filling and covering, melted over the mousse for a glaze and truffles to decorate mmmm...
