Homemade Chocolate Sauce
Sure, you can buy chocolate sauce, chocolate syrup or hot fudge at the store. It’s easy. It’s right there on the shelf by the ice cream. And you’ll probably be just fine with it. OR, you can make homemade chocolate sauce (super easy to do), and you’ll discover how much better it tastes! This recipe makes 3 cups. You can keep it around in the fridge for three weeks. Or you can share some of it with friends or neighbors. It’s delicious! In the recipe below, I share that the serving size is two tablespoons. That gives you enough to drizzle on your ice cream or another favorite chocolate-drizzling dessert. Admittedly, I’d add more than two tablespoons myself… but that’s totally up to you. It’s dessert… so it’s a special treat, right? Add as much chocolate sauce as you want!
What are some ways to use chocolate sauce in desserts?
My number one favorite way to use chocolate sauce is to drizzle it on top of ice cream, of course. That’s the obvious choice! But if you really want to be in on the best secret ever… heat up a brownie so it’s nice and warm. Then top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And top that with this homemade chocolate sauce. You can thank me later. Also consider drizzling chocolate sauce on top of a peanut butter pie or an ice cream pie. Use it in a milkshake or a layered trifle. Drizzle on top of cupcakes. Stir chocolate sauce into warm milk to make hot chocolate.
How to store chocolate sauce:
This chocolate sauce will keep just fine in your refrigerator for about 3 weeks. You can keep it in any kind of covered container. Just take it out when you need some or crave some, spoon out what you need and put the rest back in the refrigerator.
Is this like hot fudge?
It’s pretty thick like hot fudge, so if you want to serve it warmed-up then I think you’ll be pretty happy with the results. I do have a recipe for “actual” hot fudge here: HOT FUDGE
