Preparation 5 minutes

Cooking 5 – 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup (250ml) pouring cream

2 tablespoons (40ml) liqueur e.g. Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Tia Maria or espresso coffee, warmed

cinnamon sugar or cocoa (optional)

Method

  1. Place cream over medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thick and bubbly and reduced by half. Remove from heat and mix with liqueur and chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted.
