Doesn't take long at all, when using ready made pastry cases that is...

Ginger ice cream

Ooh, where do you get that from? Ginger and chocolate is a very good call.

That made me think of another suggestion, pear sorbet, the one I get is a Carrefour own brand, don't know if you can get it in the UK, surely someone must make it?

And Carrefour also make a bar of chocolate called Poire Noir, which is dark chocolate with little bits of pear in it, which is truly scrumptious, so maybe melting a bar or two of something like that and serving it as a sauce might work as well.

cape gooseberries

or syphilis whatever they are called

My grandfather it in the backyard. We'd put a bit of sugar and cream on it and share with the whole family.

Approximate amounts here:

200g very very dark good quality chocolate
250ml single cream
30g butter (slightly salted)
sugar to taste

Put the cream in a pan, heat gently, then add the chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted, add the butter. Add sugar to taste. Once you've made it a few times, you get to know exactly the right consistency and taste. If you like, you can add some tia kahlua or rum.

Pour into a ready made pastry case, or on top of crushed digestives with butter in the bottom of a cake tin.

Can anyone translate that in Merican?

Iirc 250g is about half a pound probably.

And 15g is a tablespoon more or less.

I'm sure there are lots of places you could get precise translations from.

Green tea icecream works very well with chocolate - the slightly bitter taste and the coolness works beautifully (and I'm not usually an icecream fan).

you can make that for craft club any day
