Chocolate Syrup/Sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 -4 tablespoons cocoa powder (depending on how rich you want it to be)
- 12 cup butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla
- 1 (15 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups of pure cream (again, depending on how rich you want it to be)
- Mix the cocoa powder, pinch of salt, and the sugar together evenly.
- Stir in the condensed milk (or half-and-half or cream, whichever one you choose to use).
- Put in a pan or double boiler along with the butter, and turn on the heat to medium.
- Bring to boil for a minute or so (the butter will obviously have melted by now).
- Be sure to stir constantly, or else it will get scorched on the bottom.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool.
- As the syrup is cooling down, stir in the teaspoon of real vanilla (hopefully you don't even have any artificial vanilla in the kitchen).
- Great on ice cream, but this stuff is delicious enough to eat straight.
- (The site is making me specify "servings" below, but don't pay any attention to that number.
- There's no such thing as a standard "serving" of chocolate syrup.
- If you're like me, you'll eat half a cup straight in one serving; if you're more restrained, you might put a few tablespoons on a scoop of ice cream.
