sinfully delightful

This weekend was pleasant, but wow did I need some chocolate loving, I however did refrain from having the one addiction I think most women have in common. in fact the last time I taste the sweet sinful dark chocolate,was on Friday, wow feels like forever. But alas since summer is around the corner choosing the slimmest option is what I usually go for. For example, this morning instead of having a delightfully delicious cup of coffee I had black dull rooibos tea and instead of having a decadent chocolate muffin I had a apple and oat muffin. A girl has too do what a girl has to do.
so my latest chocolate addiction if a mcflurry, but late at night is kind of hard to order one when you are at home. So I have come up with something that tastes just as good.


Vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce
Make your own ice cream if you wish, but I don't think this is the time to be precious. Hopefully, none of us will have the time anyway. Serves 2.
4 balls of vanilla ice cream 
250g fine plain chocolate 
2 tsps strong black coffee (espresso is ideal) 
300ml whipping cream 
a knob of butter about the size of a walnut
Break the chocolate into small pieces so that it melts easily. Put it into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the coffee and the cream. Heat slowly, stirring from time to time, until the chocolate has melted. It is essential that the heat is kept low.
Once the chocolate is softened, stir until smooth, then stir in the butter and pour into a warm jug. Serve warm with ice cream.
