1. Put the chocolate into a bowl. Mix the cream with the Tia Maria, reserve 2 tbsp, then tip the rest into a saucepan and bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and tip straight over the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate melts. Divide between 2 small glasses and allow to cool slightly. Whip the remaining cream until slightly thickened, then spoon over the cooled chocolate mix. Chill for at least 1 hr to set. While you're waiting, cut a heart shape from a piece of thick card.
2. When ready to serve, set the card over the glass and sift over a dusting of cocoa powder. Lift off carefully and do the same with the other glass.

  I made this with milk chocolate and Baileys and added some vanilla sugar to the cream to go on top. So yummy and easy to do.

  spaghettiqueen, yes you can make it without alchohol. Try adding a really good quality cordial, such as pomegranite (sp?) or elderflower to give it an interesting flavour

  Made this the other night with Tia Maria, went down a treat! I think the recipe makes just the right amount considering how rich it is.
