Really Simple Chocolate Sauce

easy and versatile sweet sauce

10 minutes, makes half a cup (scales easily)

Chocolate sauce turns up all over the place, and can form the basis for many dishes. You can easily alter this recipe to make a frosting by thickening it with more sour cream, or you can thin it with cream or milk to make a chocolatey syrup.

This recipe uses a "double boiler"; if you haven't tried it before, it's really easy, I promise (check out the link).

Ingredients

1 large bar baking chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)

3 heaping teaspoons sour cream

1 tablespoon cream or milk

Directions

Break up the chocolate bar, put it in a double boiler and heat for 5 minutes (until it's all liquid).

Mix in the sour cream, and stir it until it is smooth and thickened. Let it sit on the heat for a minute or two to settle.

Finally, add in the cream or milk, and stir again until smooth.

Your'e ready to go!
