Your best chocolate dessert

We're having a homemade work dinner this year and I've been tasked with pudding for 8 - chocolate!

I'm a competent baker/dessert maker but all out of inspiration.

I really want to amaze my new team.

What would you make?

Are you going to have to transport it somewhere?
A rich chocolate mouse (we like Nigellas instant choc mouse)?
Chocolate tart?

There used to be a recipe on here for a frozen chocolate mousse slice, which is delicious and can be made in advance. I'll see if I can find it.

Are you going to have to transport it somewhere?

Yes and no. We've got some apartments so I'll drive it there but we have kitchen facilities so have space to finish off and do anything last minute.

The Delia chocolate truffle torte is easy, impressive, travels well. If you don't have liquid glucose, sub golden syrup instead.

It's December- Nigella's yule log!

I remember years ago making Delia's truffle torte, it was excellent.

It reminded me of this - www.deliaonline.com/recipes/collections/dessert-cakes/chocolate-mascarpone-cheesecake-with-fruit-and-nuts-served-with-creme-fraiche

Chocolate cheesecake, it’s my favourite!

OrangeSunset · 01/12/2021 22:33

Annoyingly can’t find the recipe online anymore. Lovely though

BBC good food best chocolate brownie recipe is AMAZING & my top tip is to use Aldi chocolate in it.

I get requested for them very frequently. They're the best brownies I've ever had.

Agree with this, they're amazing. I have to ban myself from making them so I don't eat them all!

Good Housekeeping's chocolate hazelnut meringue roulade is delicious

I also love chocolate meringue topped with whipped double cream flavoured with vanilla, fresh raspberries & shaved chocolate. Stir some chocolate chunks through the meringue before baking.
