Well, it says the prep time is only a couple of mins so it can't be that difficult.

I'm going to have a go at this tomorrow when I get some Green and Black's cocoa powder.

I will let you know how I get on.

If anyone else decided to have a go at this please post and let us know what it was like.

As we are all having to cut back on certain things that aren't essential ie chocolate sauce, this is a good way of saving a bit of cash as you will probably have most of the ingredients in the cupboard anyway.

I'm making a choc chip cake and fancy making a chocolate sauce to go with it however I don't have any cream I only have condensed and evaporated milk, could I add these to the melted chocolate instead or will it not work?

I also have milk, eggs etc if there's another way to make chocolate sauce.

Thanks everyone :beer:

I made yummy choc sauce yesterday to go with pancakes and it was dead easy. I just melted a spoonful of baking marg in a saucepan, added a good glug of golden syrup and some cocoa powder. I made 2 types actually. One with the marg I used more cocoa powder and it ended up similar to a dark choc spread. I did another , runnier one, by leaving out the marg and just adding a splash of water. Dead easy, but these are more of a dark choc sauce, rather than milk choc, so maybe if you add a bit of your evaporated milk instead of the water?
Or just use some condensed milk heated up with cocoa powder.

cant see why you couldnt make it with either of these as have seen tv chefs make choc sauce with cream and chocolate

If you've got cocoa powder you could make a sauce more like this: http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/12/homemade-chocolate-syrup-delicious/

Otherwise I'd use anything that is like milk with extra fat, which is kind of what cream is anyway I think that condensed and evaporated milk have sugar added, don't they? so check the labels and adjust your recipe accordingly. If all else fails just melted chocolate would be yummy...

Thanks everyone, the cake is a bit of a disaster so a decent sauce is needed to cover it up

I should think evaporated milk would work if you have real chocolate - warm it up gently with the chocolate in it and stir lots - us the microwave if you feel confident, or a pot if not. I would do the same with single cream for a delicious sauce.

After umming and ahhing that's what I went for, used a ban marie and melted the chocolate, added the evaporated milk and a little cocoa powder to thicken it up a little, poured it over the cake and it is scruuuuummmmeeee!

Thanks for your help everyone
