A true classic, one of the first times Guy came round for dinner at home, Mum cooked him this desert, along with Eye fillet and Oysters to start , that same night he experienced his first gout attack !! But loved every mouthful and 27 years later he still asked Mum to bake it for him ,Can double the mixture and can also double just the brown sugar/cocoa/water mixture to have more yummy sauce!
