Chocolate Sauce Recipe

If you are looking for a chocolate sauce recipe, here are four variations.


Chocolate Sauce

1 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

In small saucepan, combine cocoa and sugar. Stir in water and corn syrup. Place over medium heat; bring to the boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and let cool completely. Sauce will thicken when it cools.


Dark Chocolate Sauce Recipe

1-1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tbsp. Amaretto, or to taste

In a small heavy saucepan, combine the cream and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate-high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until sugar is dissolved.

Remove pan from heat and add chocolates, whisking, until they are melted.

Whisk in the butter and the Amaretto. Continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth. Let cool slightly. Makes about 3 cups.


Philly Chocolate Sauce Recipe

1 8-oz. package cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup milk
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine cream cheese, milk, and chocolate; stir over low heat until smooth. Blend in remaining ingredients.

This sauce can be refrigerated and then reheated. Makes 2 cups.


Fudge Chocolate Sauce Recipe

4 oz. semisweet chocolate; coarsely chopped
5 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla

In heavy medium saucepan, combine the chocolate, butter, cocoa, sugar, water, and corn syrup. Whisk over medium high heat until the chocolate and butter are melted and the sugar is dissolved.

When the sauce just comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook at a low boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; the sauce will thicken as it cools. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Store in the fridge tightly covered.
