that long!!!! Double cream and dark chocolate - that's all you need to drizzle over your vanilla icecream - no point in gilding the lily! It always feels like a bit of a guilty pleasure for me as when I was a kid my mother forbad any mixing of the chocolate sauce with the icecream, whereas being kids, my brother and I wanted to swirl it all up into a gooey mush. But as middle age approaches I have returned to liking my vanilla icecream on one side, with the chocolate sauce on the other . . . Or melt some good chocolate and coat the inside of cupcake papers . . . you may need to do this several times, allowing the chocolate to set between coats. When the chocolate has set, peel off the paper and you are left with the perfect chocolate container for icecream, fruit and lashings of whipped cream!
