Chocolate mars bar cake icing
Melting a couple of mars bars makes an excellent quick chocolate cake
topping!! However, even if I leave it to go cold before spreading on the cake, it never truely sets again - what should I add to help it set? I have resorted to keeping it in the fridge, but surely just adding a magic ingredient should set it - (have tried a tablespoon of milk per bar and it doesn't help) ?? |

Maybe adding a little gelatine would work. I'd have to experiment but I'd try something like: - melt the bars - put the bowl in an ice bath and keep mixing it - Once it is cool add a small amount of gelatine - Keep mixing it until gelatine is fully incorporated Maybe if you post the ingredient for a Mars bar it might help. -- Send e-mail to: darrell at cs dot toronto dot edu Don't send e-mail to |
