 DRIZZLED OVER CHEESECAKE!!!!




IT'S TIME FOR THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB REVEAL AGAIN!!! 
FOR THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB, EVERYONE IS GIVEN THE NAME OF A BLOG (SECRETLY) AND YOU CHOOSE ONE RECIPE TO MAKE FROM THAT BLOG. THEN, EVERYONE POSTS AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME GIVEN DAY....TODAY!!!! IT IS FUN TO DISCOVER WHO HAD YOUR BLOG AND TO REVEAL THE ONE YOU WERE SECRETLY BAKING/COOKING FROM ALL ALONG!
THIS MONTH, I RECEIVED SIMPLY. FOOD

WHAT A FUN AND ADVENTUROUS BLOG WITH SOME VERY FANCY DESSERT TECHNIQUES TO TRY OUT!!!  I DECIDED TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T LOVE A DESSERT DRIPPING IN CHOCOLATE SAUCE!!!! I HAPPENED TO HAVE SOME EXTRA CHEESECAKE TO TEST DRIVE IT ON AND IT WAS A HIT!

CHOCOLATE SAUCE:

75ml (1/3c) heavy cream
40g of dark chocolate roughly chopped
½ tsp vanilla
 Put the cream into a small heavy-based pan and heat gently, stirring frequently.  When the cream comes to the boil, remove from the heat. Let it cool for a minute and then stir in the chopped chocolate.  Stir gently until smooth, stir in the vanilla.  Let cool to thicken a bit.  Pour over cake or strawberries. Mmmmmm!!!



Here is the cheesecake recipe I used.
