Chocoholics Dream

Delicious Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients:

1 cup of Cream (5-10%), if you use heavier it will be very very thick.

3/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup corn syrup

3/4 cup UNSWEETEND Cocoa powder (the better quality of the cocoa powder, the better the results.)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Yield: About 1.5 cups

In a mixing bowl, sift the cocoa powder and add the salt and set aside.

In a heavy small/medium sized saucepan stir together the cream & sugar. Cook over medium heat until, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the corn syrup and bring to a boil while continuing to stir occasionally.

Remove from the heat and pour about 1/2 of the mixture into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.

Whisk (by hand) until smooth and then add the remaining hot liquids and continue whisking until smooth.

Now pour the chocolate mixture through the sieve back into the now empty saucepan and place over low heat (if you have an electric stove, use a different burner, and the previous one will still be HOT).

Slowly cook until large bubbles begin to form and the surface turns glossy. (about 5-10) minutes.

Remove from the heat, stir in the Vanilla and let it cool down a bit in the pot.

You can serve this warm over ice cream, or dip fruits into it. You can also store it in a sealed airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks, cold it works great for Milk shakes or over ice cream, but it can easily be portioned out and quickly microwaved is you wish to serve it warm again.
