But perhaps few of us have thought of making our homemade chocolate sauce, thinking it might be too difficult and complicated. Not at all. It's just as simple as it is delicious. Chocolate sauce is chocolate melted to the point where it can be poured over just about any dessert or pudding of your choice. It's not complicated. There are numerous different ways of preparing it at home but as long as it can be poured, it's called chocolate sauce. The rich and creamy chocolate sauce is dangerously delicious. It makes an excellent topping for homemade cakes, cup cakes, ice-creams, fruit salads, trifles, strawberries, bananas as an after-dinner/lunch treat .. you can even drizzle chocolate sauce even over your cookies. Chocolate sauce can add a fancy look to the simplest of desserts. Remember to have a pastry bag with a narrow tip .. that's the only thing required for drizzling chocolate sauce over your desserts and cookies. I repeat, it tastes sublime, yet it's unbelievably easy to make. Take a look yourself. Below are a few basic and easy recipes of chocolate sauce. 1) Plain Chocolate Sauce Ingredients 6 oz (170 g) of plain chocolate 4 fl oz (115 ml) of water 1 oz (30 g) of butter 6 tbsp of cream 3 tbsp of sugar ½ tsp of vanilla essence In a medium sized pan heat the water and sugar, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
