Chocolate mars bar cake icing

Oct 18, 2004 1 Replies

Melting a couple of mars bars makes an excellent quick chocolate cake topping!! However, even if I leave it to go cold before spreading on the cake, it never truely sets again - what should I add to help it set? I have resorted to keeping it in the fridge, but surely just adding a magic ingredient should set it - (have tried a tablespoon of milk per bar and it doesn't help)

I've not tried something like this. Maybe adding a little gelatine would work. I'd have to experiment but I'd try something like:

- melt the bars

- put the bowl in an ice bath and keep mixing it

- Once it is cool add a small amount of gelatine

- Keep mixing it until gelatine is fully incorporated

Maybe if you post the ingredient for a Mars bar it might help.
