CHOCOLATE SAUCE (THROW AWAY YOUR HERSHEY'S!)



Chocolate Sauce (Throw Away Your Hershey's!) image

This syrup is concentrated stuff, use 1-2 tsp in 8 oz of milk. It's ultra-chocolatey, with a deep cocoa flavor, and not too sweet. This syrup is thick and smooth with a shine ...a chocolate syrup for adults. Use Dutch process cocoa powder if you want the finished product to have the beautifully deep color and flavor to which all good chocolate syrups should aspire.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE SAUCE



The Best Chocolate Sauce image

Use good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. You'll appreciate the difference in this intensely dark and flavorful chocolate sauce. In place of the corn syrup, you can use agave nectar, rice syrup, or golden syrup. Note that it will lend a slightly different flavor to the sauce, but it'll still be absolutely delicious.

Provided by David

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (250ml) water
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/2 cup (160g) light corn syrup
3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
2 ounces (55g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the water, sugar, corn syrup, and cocoa powder.
  • Warm the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once it just begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.
  • If you don't have unsweetened cocoa powder, you can use Dutch-process cocoa powder, but you may need to reduce the amount of sugar you add.
  • To make a vegan chocolate sauce, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk.
  • For a richer, creamier chocolate sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the sauce to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • To make a chocolate sauce with a caramel flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar.
  • To make a chocolate sauce with a minty flavor, add a teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  • To make a chocolate sauce with a coffee flavor, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder.
  • Store the chocolate sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate sauce is a versatile ingredient that can be used to enhance the flavor of many different desserts. It can be used as a topping for cakes, ice cream, and brownies.
