Ingredients: 60 g caster sugar; 150 ml double cream; 30 ml golden syrup; 2 tsp Horlicks; 20 g unsalted butter; 1 pinch/es flaky sea salt; 120 g 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped; Ottolenghi Madagascan Vanilla & Miso Salted Caramel Ice Cream or Ottolenghi Coffee & Cardamom Ice Cream, to serve

The quickest route to an impressive dessert is shop-bought ice cream and a few brilliant toppings. What I really want is chocolate sauce. Rich, molten and poured over vanilla ice cream. I’ve added Horlicks here, to give it a malty twist (Ovaltine works just as well). The sesame sprinkle on top gives the perfect texture contrast – toast the seeds until golden, then bash them with sugar and salt. All that crunch against silky sauce and cold ice cream is irresistible.

SESAME SPRINKLE

25g white sesame seeds
40g black sesame seeds
2 tsp caster sugar
½ tsp flaky sea salt

Start by making the sesame sprinkle. Put the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat and toast for 7-8 minutes until golden. Transfer to a pestle and mortar with the sugar and salt and grind until roughly broken; set aside.
To make the chocolate fudge sauce, put the sugar, cream, golden syrup, Horlicks, butter and salt in a small pan with 75ml water. Set over a medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the Horlicks. Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted, then return to the heat, stirring until smooth and glossy. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce on the ice cream and serve with the sesame sprinkle on top.
