As we all know Coffee and Chocolate are a great combination. This is a delightful cold dessert that is easy to make, however, it takes time as you need to cool it in fridge. I like Coffee Jelly not very sweet, rather bitter and aromatic. When jellies are set, you need to decorate the parfait. …
Chocolate Syrup is easy to make. You can find so many recipes on the internet, but I believe my recipe is easiest. It is basically soft Chocolate Icing.

Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a very popular dessert in Australia. This is an old classic recipe I wrote down in my recipe book decades ago. It requires a scary amount of Sugar.
