If you’re feeling slightly more adventurous in your chocolate consumption, hit up your kitchen and whip up one of these tasty recipes…
Chocolate soup (BBC Good Food)
It definitely beats your mum’s lentil! This dessert isn’t for the faint-hearted – melt good quality dark chocolate, and combine it with double cream and a dash of coffee and brandy. Deeeelicious! You can enjoy this on its own, or serve it up with vanilla ice cream or get a selection of goodies for dunking. Strawberries and shortbread would work well.
Flourless chocolate brownies with hot chocolate sauce (Nigella Lawson)
The only person in the world who appreciates chocolate just as much as the Source team is Nigella Lawson – and her brownie recipe is TO DIE FOR. This recipe produces gooey, fudgey treats that work well with a dod of vanilla ice cream or on their own. Mmmm.
Chocolate white chocolate chunk cookies (Ina Garten via Food Network)
Ina Garten, aka Barefoot Contessa, knows all there is to know about good baking – and these chewy chocolate cookies prove that. Combining regular chocolate and white chocolate, these are really sweet – and delicious. They’re really easy to make too, so warm up the oven now.
Cheesecake brownies (Hummingbird Bakery)
Cheesecake – good. Brownies – good. Which means this is possibly the best dessert ever. The Hummingbird Bakery is famous for its sweet treats – and these cheesecake brownies are, in a word, incredible. A dark chocolate base topped with cream chees and raspberries, this gives you that chocolatey hit while pretending you’re doing something vaguely healthy thanks to the fruit involvement.
Chocolate sticky toffee pudding cake (Green & Black’s)
If we had to pick our three favourite things in life that involve sugar, chocolate, toffee and cake would probably feature – so Green & Black’s had to come up with this amazing recipe that combines all three! Mouth wateringly good.
