Recipe Reviews
Very yummy and very easy to follow. This worked wonders on my Mum's 100th birthday cake!!
easy to make
Would highly recommend, although you can just melt the butter and chocolate in bursts in the microwave
As said below, if it separates and remains gritty and oily, off the heat I used an electric handheld whisk and whisked a small amount of milk continuously until it thickened and became smooth and creamy, continue until you get the consistency you want
Split ended up with a chewy lump and a bowl of watery, greasy liquid
Turned out great! Will harden if you leave in the fridge 😅
Thank you for the recipe!
