Anyone got a recipe for a chocolate dish that is nice and cool?
Sticking a Flake et al in the fridge/freezer will NOT suffice!

I don't like buying or eating chocolates outside in summer. They start melting quickly! I don't like that.
This is not the recipe, but I have some suggestions! Well, I think most people would like to have cold dessert in summer. so why don't you put chocolate sauce on the ice cream? Some chocolate sauce will freeze when you put on the cold food. You can buy them at the shops and this is so easy!
If you are in Japan, you can buy the chocolates that can put in the fridge and the taste doesn't change. Do your countries have these type of chocolates!??

sorbet :
noun [C or U] (US ALSO sherbet)
a frozen food made from fruit juice, water and sugar:
lemon sorbet
Sorry to be a pedant Minty, i am sure your ice is tasty but when I saw sorbet my first thought (sad bastard) was, that cannot be right.

Sorbet (or sorbetto, sorbeto) is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and other ingredients.
That ingredient is the one I couldn't find. I just love to be a pain in the arse. Sorry.
