Chocolate Sauce

tandraig

my fave chocolate sauce is
a small carton of cream
a mars bar - small or large its up to you.
cut mars bar up then add to cream and melt very gently in a pan over low heat. keep stirring it. then as soon as it is all melted - its ready.
not sure if it will keep but cant see why not if poured into a sterilised jar and sealed.

Usually, these sort of things tend to be made by melting chocolate and adding a small quantity of milk and vegetable oil. That, by the way, is how chocolate fountains function.

I once witnessed a chocolate fountain being prepared... they poured in half a bottle of vegetable oil. Somehow I've never been drawn to them since.

Back to the OP - I melt chocolate in a pyrex bowl in my microwave in 40 second bursts, stirring each time. I used to do it over the pan of boiling water but find my microwave works fine too!

Same here. I've never really been able to stomach them since.

I find that the chocolate tastes the same even with the added oil! But then, chocolate is chocolate!:j

Oh the taste is the same. But it's the knowledge that makes the difference. It's like if someone dipped a slug in your tea momentarily - probably wouldn't affect the taste too much but 99.9% of people wouldn't go near it after that!

Hi all, sorry to bother you but i was wondering if anyone could help.
Im looking for a chocolate sauce recipe to go with a chocolate sponge (you know, similar to what they used to serve up for school dinners). Ive tried doing a search for it but all im getting is recipes requiring actual chocolate...im after the cheap "just add coco powder" kind!

Thanks!

If you want chocolate custard just add some chocolate to hot custard.

If it's instant custard, I add a heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder to the powder and make up as normal - it's lovely

Hi Trying2save,

The cocoa powder added to custard is probably the simplest way but there are some recipes on this thread using cocoa powder which may help too:

I'll merge your thread with that one once you've had more replies to keep the recipes and suggestions together.
