Chocolate knickerbocker glory

Method

1. First make the chocolate sauce. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water.

2. Meanwhile gently bring the milk, cream and sugar to the boil in a small saucepan. Stir the hot milk mixture into the melted chocolate and set aside to cool.

3. Place a few bits of ginger cake in the bottom of 4 sundae glasses.

4. Add a dash of liqueur to the cake, then top with a little chocolate sauce, followed by ice-cream, more chocolate sauce and toasted almonds.

5. Repeat until the glasses are nearly full. Top each portion with whipped cream, shortbread and chocolate shavings. Serve at once.
