CHOCOLATE SAUCE

This is a delicious sauce that is so simple to prepare, it can be drizzled over profiteroles, ice-cream or as a dip for fresh strawberries. 150g dark chocolate, 250ml cream, 30g butter

To prepare the chocolate sauce bring the cream to boil then remove from the heat.

Break the chocolate pieces into a bowl then pour half the boiling cream over the chocolate, stir to combine, then add the remaining cream (this will avoid the mixture splitting).

Add the butter, and stir until smooth, then keep warm until required covered with a layer of clingfilm.
