Everybody knows that the best dessert in all the world is Chocolate Sauce over Vanilla Ice Cream, preferably Haagen-Dazs. This chocolate sauce is also used for ice cream desserts such as Pears Belle Helene.
Ingredients
1 C of high-quality whipping cream, not ultra pasteurized
1 C of Nestle’s dark chocolate chips, or a higher-quality semisweet chocolate, or 3 oz semisweet chocolate mixed with 1 oz unsweetened, or semisweet chocolate mixed with bittersweet chocolate, cut up. It is not necessary to gild the lily with expensive chocolate unless you have an over-indulgent palate and heavy pocketbook.
Optional:
liqueur: 1 tbs.
strong fresh coffee: 1 tbs.
vanilla: 1 tsp
almond flavoring: dash
Makes 2 cups
Directions
Using a heavy bottomed pot, stir the cream with a wire whisk until it just barely shows bubbles around the edge.
Gradually add the chocolate, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool, or pour it over ice cream and eat immediately.
