Mix your chocolate with a little splash of cream or milk and carefully melt in a double boiler (posh talk for about 20 seconds in the microwave)

Mix well until it’s consistent then pipe it on to your danish with a piping bag, carefully making a consistent drizzling effect.

Or, just shove it on with a fork.

Leave to cool a little and serve warm, or at least try not to burn your self on the hot fruit as you eat it from the tray.
