EASY CHOCOLATE SAUCE



Easy Chocolate Sauce image

I love ice cream with some kind of sauce on it. Call me weird LOL! This is a really good sauce and it's one of my favorite go-to sauces. I found this years ago on the web. Be sure you don't use semi-sweet, it's no good in this recipe. It's been awhile since I made this, I can't remember exactly how much it made. I did the 2oz, then truffles, then I think I made the 3oz. If you make this, please post how much, if you please.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 teaspoon vanilla (if you go for the 3 oz. you may want to add a little more.)

Steps:

  • Carefully melt the chocolate in the condensed milk, and bring to a boil. Boil gently for a minute. Then add the vanilla. You can also add peanut butter (just a big spoonful or, no big deal) if desired. I prefer the 2oz. of chocolate, but you may want the 3oz.
  • Thin with regular milk, if you need to.
  • You may like to use a different extract, such as almond or maple, or which ever. It's really cool to make truffles out of this after it cools a little.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the sauce will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize up and become grainy. Heat the chocolate gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add a little bit of salt: Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and makes the flavor more complex.
  • Use a variety of liquids: You can use milk, cream, water, or even coffee to make chocolate sauce. The type of liquid you use will affect the flavor and texture of the sauce.
  • Flavor the sauce with spices and extracts: You can add a variety of spices and extracts to chocolate sauce to create different flavor profiles. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and cayenne pepper.

Conclusion:

Chocolate sauce is a versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of desserts, including cakes, pies, cookies, and ice cream. It can also be used as a topping for fruit, yogurt, or pancakes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious chocolate sauce at home.
