Homemade Chocolate Sauce
Silky smooth, glossy, not overly sweet, and incredibly chocolatey. This is the chocolate sauce I make each time I need it. Homemade Chocolate Sauce is incredibly easy to make and very much better than the store bought chocolate sauce. Whip up a batch in only 5 minutes and then drizzle it on all your favorite desserts!
Equipment
- Sauce pan
- Wired hand whisk
Ingredients
- 67 grams (⅓ cup) sugar
- 60 grams (¼ cup +2 tablespoon) dark chocolate
- 45 grams (⅓ cup) cocoa powder
- 15 grams (1 tablespoon) butter
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- few drops Ossoro chocolate truffe essence or 1 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Take sugar, cocoa powder and water in a saucepan.
- Stir well to combine and make sure there are no lumps.
- Now turn on the heat to low-medium flame. Keep cooking stirring it constantly.
- As soon as the mixture started to heat up, the mixture will thicken up and gets darker in color. It will take only approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Once the mixture becomes thick (coat the spoon), reduce the flame to low and add the chopped chocolate, essence and butter.
- Stir it constantly for about a minute and once the chocolate started melting turn off the stove.
- Continue stirring the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and your thick, glossy and silky smooth chocolate sauce is ready.
- It will thicken more as it cools down. Allow to cool down completely and store in a sterilized jar.
