Malty chocolate fudge sauce & sesame sprinkle
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.

Ingredients
- 60g caster sugar
- 150ml double cream
- 30ml golden syrup
- 2 tsp Horlicks
- 20g unsalted butter
- 1 pinch/es flaky sea salt
- 120g 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- Ottolenghi Madagascan Vanilla & Miso Salted Caramel Ice Cream or Ottolenghi Coffee & Cardamom Ice Cream, to serve
SESAME SPRINKLE
- 25g white sesame seeds
- 40g black sesame seeds
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt
Method
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.
