Hey Girlfriends,

Making chocolate sauce is easy. I haven’t told you, but some of my girlfriends are vegan. They like chocolate too, but since they are vegan, they cannot eat regular chocolate. I found a clip that shows how to make chocolate sauce free of milk, and sugar.

Tell me what you think of the clip.

Chocolate!! The very word conjures up images of sensuous and sinful but at the same time irresistible delights, especially for chocaholics. It could be the chocolate mint bars or the cakes or the pastries or candy or the chocolate sauce. What can be more enticing than chocolate sauce dripping from a vanilla ice cream cone?

Chocolate sauce can be defined as a combination of liquid of melted chocolate, cream and sometimes butter. The butter is usually sweetened with sugar and flavored with extract, liquor or liqueurs. It is great to have chocolate sauce on hand for a quick dessert. Chocolate can be used in many ways. You can be poured over ice cream, used as a dip for fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, kiwi, apples, pears, etc.), and as a accompaniment for cakes and tortes.

· What type of chocolate sauce is best for you? Well, it would be best to use a good quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate as this is where its smooth and silky texture and taste are truly showcased. Sometimes you might find the chocolate sauce a little thick once it cools then you can add a little more cream until you achieve the desired consistency. The sauce should be made at least a day before serving is best as it mellows the chocolate flavor. Here is a quick and easy chocolate sauce recipe. You will need.

· 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
· 3/4 cup whipping cream
· 1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small saucepan over low heat, heat chocolate chips and whipping cream, stirring constantly. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and sauce is smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Serve over dessert or ice cream.
