Super Hot Chocolate Fudge Sauce Recipe
4 oz Semisweet chocolate; coarsely chopped
5 tb Butter; unsalted
1/4 c Cocoa
3/4 c Sugar
3/4 c Water
1/4 c Corn syrup
2 ts 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; the sauce will thicken as it cools. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Store in the fridge tightly covered.
Ultimate Raspberry Chocolate Sauce
12 oz Frozen raspberries (individually quick-frozen), defrosted
3/4 c Dutch-process cocoa
3/4 c Heavy cream
4 tb Unsalted butter; softened
1 1/2 c Sugar
1/3 c Light corn syrup
Puree the raspberries in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, then pass them through a fine strainer. Or pass them through a food mill. Set aside. In a medium-size heavy saucepan, whisk together the cocoa and heavy cream. Add the butter, sugar, corn syrup and raspberries and stir until well blended. Place the pan over medium heat and slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Once it reaches a boil, let it continue to boil slowly for 8 minutes without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce into a container. Let it cool for 15 minutes if serving hot, or cover and refrigerate until needed. It will last for at least 1 month. The sauce may be reheated slowly. Makes 2 1/2 Cups.
