I recently posted a crème caramels recipe using just five ingredients, and cooked in a tray of coffee cups. Kids love chocolate though, so in the following recipe I demonstrate crème chocolate using store bought chocolate sauce, plus eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. I have used Cottees Chocolate Topping, but any chocolate sauce that is liquid in the refrigerator is suitable.
Ingredients for 9 serves.
10 Eggs
120g Sugar
½ tsp Vanilla essence
1L Milk
180ml Chocolate sauce
Method
Beat six eggs and four egg yolks in a bowl. Reserve the egg whites for another use.
Mix in the sugar and vanilla.
Warm the milk without boiling it and add it to the egg mixture, whilst whisking.
Place a dessert spoon full of chocolate sauce in the bottom of 9 coffee cups without getting it on the sides.
Ladle the egg mixture into each cup, holding a spoon over the chocolate sauce to disturb it as little as possible.
Pre-heat the oven to 165°c and boil a full kettle of water.
Place the cups into a deep baking tray.
For safety, partially fill the baking tray with boiling water and put the tray into the oven.
Use a jug to fill the baking tray with boiling water.
Allow to cook for twenty minutes.
Carefully remove one or two of the cups to lower the water level, then remove the tray from the oven.
Remove the cups from the water and allow them to cool before refrigerating them.
To turn the desserts out, briefly warm the outside of the cups with hot water, then run a thin knife around the inner rim.
Use the knife to allow a bit of air into the cup as you invert it over a bowl.
The dessert should slide out followed by the sauce.
Serve crème chocolate with whipped cream or without any accompaniment.
The Pink Ladies of Currumbin Dragon Boat club yesterday celebrated the addition of two new boats, with a blessing of the boats ceremony at Currumbin Creek.
Breast cancer survivors one and all, the Pink Ladies and their supporters gathered with members of the indigenous Bundjalung tribe, the Deputy Mayor, and a deputation of Buddhist monks to formally launch the vessels.
Bundjalung elder Aunty Cath welcomed one and all on behalf of the traditional landholders before a spirited song and dance performance by the men.
The Deputy Mayor Daphne McDonald added her support and encouragement, as did a representative from Maritmo, the major sponsor.
Following a free morning tea, the Monks blessed the boats and ceremonially dotted the eyes of the dragons heads mounted on the prows.
An impromptu exhibition race was held in which neighbouring club Arakuna were soundly beaten.
Along with the camaraderie and excitement of racing, paddling a dragon boat is therapeutic following breast surgery and helps in the circulation of lymphatic fluid.
Curious onlookers and new paddlers are always welcome at various venues, on the Gold Coast, or Australia wide and can be contacted through The Dragons Abreast Australia website.

An F1-11 Dumps And Burns Jet Fuel
The Gold Coast Super GP is a fumefest foisted on the local residents without regard for their wellbeing, by a government more intent on its financial health.
The Roulettes were doing fly-bys trailing smoke, helicopters were landing and taking off in the middle of the track precinct, and the F1-11s were doing dump and burns, which means dumping fuel and burning it

The following recipe and step by step pictures demonstrates a sweet and creamy pimento sauce. It is not hot and has a delightful colour. I have used miniature capsicums of assorted colours from my garden, but a red capsicum from the supermarket is ideal.
This recipe can be made gluten free by using arrowroot flour for thickening or relying on the natural thickening of the cream.
