CHOCOLATE SAUCE
This chocolate sauce recipe was emailed to me by one of my husband’s friends that he grew up with, Andria.
She said I had to have this recipe and I’m so grateful she gave it to me. She likes to use it in crepes or for dipping strawberries.
I useit to top ice cream and then for an Eclair Cake just the other day. It’s great by the spoonful too.
Did I mention that my husband can’t stand the taste of Hershey’s chocolate syrup? So this will be replacing it with this sauce in any dish I make from now on…
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE SAUCE
-
In a cold saucepan, stir the cocoa powder and sugar together well. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and salt.
-
Slowly heat mixture gradually until it reaches a boil. Continue stirring until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes. You want it to coat the back of a spoon. If you want a thicker mixture cook longer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. It will still be thin once you are done with this step. Don’t worry once you let it cool down a bit it will thicken. It will thicken a lot when chilled. Makes around 1 cup of sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER – You can find this in the baking aisle.
