Expert Tips
- Use good quality chocolate, as it is the main flavour of the sauce.
- Keep stirring the sauce while it cooks so the chocolate melts evenly and the mixture doesn't stick at the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the sauce on low to medium heat so that all the ingredients melt and combine smoothly. Avoid high heat as it can scorch the sauce.
- Once the sauce looks smooth and slightly thickened, remove it from the heat. It will thicken as it cools.
Storage and Serving
Let the hot chocolate sauce cool completely before storing. Transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 month. The sauce will become thicker in the fridge. Warm it gently in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Serve it warm over any flavoured ice cream for a simple treat. You can also drizzle it over brownies, pancakes, waffles, cakes or even use it as a dip for fresh fruits.
