I mixed up 2 batches last night following the directions exactly and this morning they still haven't firmed up. Both pans are a thick (delicious) syrup - definitely not firm enough to roll. Any suggestions for thickening this batch or what to do differently next time. The syrup is quite tasty so I will pour it on ice cream, over cake etc. It definitely won't go to waste!
Well, you are right, those ingredients would not go to waste in my house either! But I am sorry it did not work for you this time around. If you would like to take another stab at it, you could melt down what you have and add some more chocolate (melted first) and chill again. This may help to firm it up. Also, be sure you are using heavy cream and not whipping or light cream. You need the high percentage of fat! Elisabeth
