Iced Berries With Hot Chocolate Sauce Food

ICED BERRIES WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and break in the chocolate. Heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate melts into a smooth sauce. Take care not to overheat or the chocolate will seize into a hard lump. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum, if using.
• Scatter the frozen berries on 4 dessert plates or in shallow bowls. Pour the hot chocolate sauce over the fruits and serve immediately, as the fruits start to defrost.

Check to see if it is soft enough to stir into a sauce, if not give it 30 secs, then stir again. Leave to cool slightly, stirring occasionally. To serve, pour the chocolate sauce over the iced berries.
