- This sauce is also great wherever you might use a dessert topping. It is amazing on my baguette french toast, but also on waffles or freshly baked brownies
Storing and reheating.
Pour your sauce into a sealed container or jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
To reheat, scoop the amount of sauce that you are wanting to use into a small bowl or cup. Microwave your portion for about 20 seconds. Do not heat the whole container as you may cause the sugars in the sauce to crystallize when it cools back down.
Ingredients
Method
- In a medium sized saucepan, sieve your cocoa and mix it together with your sugar. This will ensure that your sauce will be perfectly smooth and have no cocoa lumps.
- Add your cream and butter into the saucepan
- Heat your sauce on a medium heat, stirring regularly until the butter is melted and the sugar is fully dissolved. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat slightly and simmer your sauce stirring constantly. Continue until your sauce is thick and glossy it should be about the thickness of golden syrup. This step should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in your vanilla essence and stir well before serving.
- Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
