Share Chocolate sauce: three ways to make this baking staple and 25 recipes to use it
One of the basic preparations of international confectionery is chocolate sauce. Although there are those who would eat it by the spoonful, the reason for this classic preparation is to accompany desserts and, thereby, enrich them. Finding a dessert that suits this sauce is easy, below we leave you 25 recipes in which to use it.
There are several ways to make chocolate sauce, all of which are easy, quick, and delicious. In addition to the classic formula (the one learned at the Hospitality School), which is made with a base of liquid cream, we bring you a version without sugar or fat and another without cream. Let no one run out of their sauce!
The basic chocolate sauce can be flavored with herbs, spices and/or spirits such as cinnamon, mint, curry, pepper, cardamom, orange, brandy, anise, ginger and much more. You just have to boil water with the chosen element and let it infuse while it cools. Then it is strained and that's it.
We start by chopping the chocolate into pieces. We have used dark chocolate with 64% cocoa, but you can use another proportion that you like. You just have to keep in mind that the intensity of its flavor is softened by incorporating the rest of the ingredients.
In a small saucepan, add the water, the liquid cream and the sugar. We take it to the fire and heat until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate.
Let the chocolate melt due to the effect of heat. Four or five minutes will be enough (although this will depend on the size of the pieces). After this time we stir with a few rods until we obtain a homogeneous and shiny mixture.
Once our chocolate sauce is ready, all that remains is to let it cool so that it takes on body and thickens. When it has tempered, we put it in the fridge, inside an airtight container so that it does not absorb odors or flavors. Consume in a maximum of seven days.
