This must be close to the most decadent dessert on earth. It’s a chocoholic’s dream and so easy to make. It’s fabulous for impressing a partner or completely self-indulgent nights on the couch.
Take note, this needs about three hours to set properly.
You’ll need: (serves 2 indulgently or 3 moderately)
150g dairy milk chocolate (you can use dark if you prefer but very rich)
125ml pouring cream
50ml Amarula
100g Bar-One, sliced
Handful of honeycomb, chopped (careful, chop it gently or it will fly across the kitchen)
Sprinkle of crumbled Flake for serving
Feel free to replace any of the ingredients with whatever you like. What you really want is a variety of textures so you might choose to use nougat, Smarties, Crunchie, marshmallows, fudge or even chopped nuts. You can also change the alcohol to your preference. I think Rum, Kahlua or any liqueurs would be divine.
Here’s how:
Firstly break up and melt your chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Keep it moving and watch closely, this happens fast. Once fully melted, immediately remove it from the heat and stir in the cream and Amarula. Mix well, it should be a smooth and even colour.
Next throw in your Bar-One and honeycomb and mix it up until everything is well coated. Transfer into serving glasses (this could be wine glasses, tumblers, espresso cups, bowls or whatever you wish) and pop it into the fridge where it won’t be disturbed for about three hours.
Once it has set nicely – you should be able to turn the glass upside down without it sliding – sprinkle with Flake and serve with coffee or a good glass of dessert wine.
Happy indulging!
Yours in delicious desserts

Please post some of your ideas for ingredient combinations below. Some of my ideas are to use dark chocolate and Amaretto with chopped almonds and cherries. I’d also like to try the new Bournville mint chocolate with Cape Velvet and Peppermint Crisp. What do you think?
