Dinner Party Time - no bake chocolate and ginger dessert cake
Using the most popular hits on my blog, I propose the following for your dinner party:
Roasted peppers stuffed with ricotta and vegetables to start,
then Macadamia nut Chicken in coconut sauce or Prawn Linguine
and
For an easy no bake dessert that can be prepared in advance and will satisfy the sweetest tooth, try this:
Chocolate and ginger nut cake
600g milk chocolate
200g butter
4T golden syrup
400g ginger biscuits broken into small pieces
200g toasted hazelnuts
Grease a 20cm spring form cake tin.
Melt 500g chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a double boiler or in a bowl over simmering water.Stir until smooth. Stir in the ginger biscuits and 150g hazelnuts. Press the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Allow to cool.
Melt the remaining 100g chocolate. Pour over the cake, sprinkle over the remaining nuts and allow to set.
Remove from the cake tin and serve.
Variations : if you prefer, replace the ginger nuts with coconut biscuits and use mint chocolate.
Use dark chocolate for a more intense flavour.
Use hazelnut chocolate cut into pieces to break up the nuts before melting.
Top the cake with salted caramel sauce instead of chocolate and decorate the with Maltesers.
Serves 10
