Make chocolate and Irish cream roulade

Stray away from serving up a scoop of ice cream at your next dinner party and take your dessert dish to the next level! In this video, learn how to make a delicious chocolate and Irish cream roulade. To make this recipe you will need about 50 minutes and the following ingredients:

For the roulade:

* 6 medium eggs
* 175g (6oz) caster sugar
* 2 level tbsp cocoa
* 200g bar plain chocolate, melted

For the filling:

* 450ml (3/4pint) double cream
* 6tbsp Irish Cream Liqueur
* 2-3 level tbsp icing sugar
* Icing sugar, for dusting
* 33 x 23cm (13 x 9in) Swiss roll tin, lined with baking parchment
