Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This a simple way to make after-dinner chocolates – and easier than truffles, too.
300g good-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
100g crystallised stem ginger, finely chopped
Put the chocolate into a bowl over a pan of simmering water for a few minutes, stirring every so often until it has melted. Stir in the stem ginger and remove from the heat.
Line a tray with clingfilm and pour the chocolate mixture on and spread it out to about half a centimetre thick.
Refrigerate for an hour or so, then remove from the tray and clingfilm and break into shard-like pieces.
