Treat the kids this weekend and serve up some delicious desserts with these easy recipes from Butlers Chocolate …
How do you define “ice cream weather”? A recent survey has revealed that apparently a baseline temperature of 11°C or above has us reaching for a scoop of ice cream. That means that regardless of whether there’s sunshine or not this weekend (though we have hopes that it will stick around!) it’s time to get out the sundae glasses and treat ourselves.
And what’s ice cream without a decadent topping – or two? Our favourite is an indulgent chocolate sauce, which is so versatile. Pour over some vanilla ice cream, add to choux pastry, eclairs, fudge brownies or even fresh strawberries and you have an instant crowd pleaser – a perfect easy dessert if you’re hosting lunch in the garden this weekend. And for an afternoon pick-me-up, a delicious iced chocolate drink is such a treat – it turns out Butlers Hot Chocolate at Home capsules are very versatile!
As we enter the dreaded, back to school countdown, give the kids a treat this weekend and serve up some delicious desserts with these easy recipes from Butlers Chocolates. The recipes couldn’t be easier to follow, just watch the step-by-step videos.
