Last night I had a lovely girlie evening with my friend Jess - a nice thai curry, a trashy chic flick and finished off with some experimental violet desserts! I have to admit that the chocolate violet tart did not work - it was far too sickly - you live and learn! However, the chocolate violet fondue was just delicious! Really chocolaty followed by a strong hint of violet - yum yum! You definitely need fruit to dunk as cake or marshmallows would just be too much I think!
Chocolate violet fondue (to serve 4 - it is very rich and you don't need much!)
200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
200ml double cream
60ml violet liquor
1 tbsp violet syrup
red cherries to dunk
Melt the chocolate, cream and violet syrup and liquor in a saucepan, heating gently. When the chocolate has melted, pour into ramekin dishes and serve with the cherries - it's as easy as that!

Chocolate and violet fondu?! Are you still in 1977 down there?! Sounds amazing Hannah. Can you make me some when I eventually visit please? And yes, 10 pork pies! Check out my latest, should be right up your street...x
Sounds lovely. Just perfect for fruit dipping!

Shakespeare writes about violets all the time...I cant forget parma violet sweets. I used to eat them a whole packet at a time.
Great Big Veg Challenge
