Pregnancy is over but I have a residual sweet tooth that I can't get rid of and it hits every night. At any given time you can find ingredients to make cookies, cake or other tasty treats hidden in my cupboard. Last night I was all about the ice cream in the freezer but the plain old vanilla needed something a little extra. Then I realized I had the ingredients for chocolate sauce.
This recipe is nice because I didn't need any milk or whipping cream (seriously who keeps a pint of cream in their fridge at all times?)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup cocoa
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1 Cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Whisk together all of the dry ingredients. Stir in the water and mix well. Heat to a boil. BE careful, once boiling the chocolate mixture gets puffy really fast and can boil over easily.
Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly so that it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. So far I've used it on my ice cream, in a milkshake and chocolate milk. All were so good.
Now go eat something chocolate-y.
