Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the self-raising flour with a splash of water to create a smooth slurry, ensuring no lumps remain.

Heat the thickened cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently.
-
Slowly whisk the flour slurry into the simmering cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate.
-
Let the mixture sit for one minute, then whisk vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is glossy and smooth.

Serve the chocolate cream warm, alongside or swirled with the warmed strawberry jam for a complementary fruity finish.
