Whip the cream with the vanilla essence, vanilla seeds, salt, rum, and icing sugar. Once it thickens, leave it to set in the fridge. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle when ready to use.

Quick & Easy Chocolate Sauce

Place the butter, cream, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla essence in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Add the cocoa powder and whisk thoroughly, cooking gently for 5 minutes at a slow simmer.

Pour the mixture over the bittersweet chocolate and whisk until melted.

Pass through a fine chinois and cool in a blast chiller, covering the surface with cling film to prevent a skin from forming.
