I thought I had posted this recipe long ago – but I guess I haven’t. This sauce is a must for ice cream lovers and only takes five ingredients and five minutes to make from scratch. The story goes that each of the three children in my brother-in-law’s family learned to make a different sauce:\u00c2\u00a0 butterscotch, toffee fingers, and chocolate. Chocolate sauce is the handiest and I bet the most popular. Bella made it herself tonight – successfully!<\/p>\n

The sauce is flexible and depending on the amount of ingredients and temperature cooked, the sauce is sometimes chewy, other times it hardens when it hits the ice cream.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Sauce a la Joss<\/p>\n

You need: cocoa powder, sugar, water, vanilla, and butter.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measure out one tablespoon of sugar per person. Measure out approximately one-third of that amount of cocoa, ex. 6 tbs sugar + 2 tbs cocoa.<\/li>\n
  2. In a heavy-bottomed small saucepan, heat up the sugar and cocoa until the sugar melts.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a couple tablespoons of water – just enough to make it sauce-y.<\/li>\n
  4. Stir until heated through and the right consistency.<\/li>\n
  5. Turn off the heat, and add a knob of butter and a few drops of vanilla.<\/li>\n
  6. Pour over the ice cream and laugh at everybody’s chocolate-y smiles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
