Chocolate Sauce or Icing

Warm, this recipe makes a delicious and simple chocolate cream sauce. Allowed to cool to room temperature, it becomes spreadable and can be used to frost cakes. Choose a flavourful liqueur to match or compliment the dish it will be topping.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz fine dark chocolate
  
• 2/3 cup whipping cream
  
• 1 tablespoon liqueur

Directions:

Chop chocolate into small pieces.


Bring cream to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in liqueur.

Pour heated cream/liqueur mixture over chopped chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.


Use warm for sauce or allow to cool, uncovered at room temperature, until a spreadable consistency is reached, for icing.
