Make chocolate and Irish cream roulade

Stray away from serving up a scoop of ice cream at your next dinner party and take your dessert dish to the next level! In this video, learn how to make a delicious chocolate and Irish cream roulade. To make this recipe you will need about 50 minutes and the following ingredients:


For the roulade:

* 6 medium eggs
* 175g (6oz) caster sugar
* 2 level tbsp cocoa
* 200g bar plain chocolate, melted

For the filling:

* 450ml (3/4pint) double cream
* 6tbsp Irish Cream Liqueur
* 2-3 level tbsp icing sugar
* Icing sugar, for dusting
* 33 x 23cm (13 x 9in) Swiss roll tin, lined with baking parchment


Instructions:
1. Set the oven to 180°C or gas mark 4.

4. Bake the roulade in the centre of the oven for about 20 mins, or until it has just set in the centre.
5. Remove the roulade from the oven and then turn it out onto a sheet of baking parchment which has been dusted with icing sugar. Leave the lining paper on the roulade, and cover it with a clean and damp tea-towel to cool.
6. To make the filling: lightly whisk the double cream until it forms soft peaks, taking care not to over-whip it, and then fold in the Irish Cream Liqueur and icing sugar to taste.
7. Remove the tea-towel and then the lining paper from the roulade and trim away any crusty edges from the roulade. Spread the filling over the roulade, and then roll it up, using the bottom sheet of baking parchment to help roll it.
