• When ready, place the chocolate in a non-metallic bowl with the cream and microwave on High for 1 min.

To serve, pour the chocolate sauce over the iced berries.

ICED BERRIES WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

• Scatter the frozen berries on 4 dessert plates or in shallow bowls. Pour the hot chocolate sauce over the fruits and serve immediately, as the fruits start to defrost.
