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.

Provided by FLUFFSTER

Categories     Candy

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%.
  • Use heavy cream or milk: These ingredients will help to make the sauce rich and creamy.
  • Don't overheat the sauce: Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
  • Use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate: This will help to prevent the chocolate from overheating.
  • Add flavorings: You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder to the sauce to taste.
  • Serve the sauce warm: Chocolate sauce is best served warm, so it can be drizzled over desserts or used as a dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Chocolate sauce is a versatile and delicious treat that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be drizzled over desserts, used as a dipping sauce, or even used as a glaze for meats. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a chocolate sauce recipe that you'll love.
