Scaled this to 16 servings for 4 people. Used Callebaut Belgian chocolate chippits from the bulk store. Calls for 11 oz. but I ended up with almost a pound (used 1/2 milk and 1/2 dark). Added enough cream to make it the right consistency (about 1/2 a cup). Did not add water and I'm not really sure why it needs the sugar. Added the 1 tsp. instant coffee granules but could not taste coffee - I think it just gave it depth. A beautiful sophisticated taste, and the consistency was perfect. It adhered nicely to the fruit without alot of dripping.
