Rich Chocolate Sauce
Chocolate sauce can be a pudding in itself! Chocolate sauce should be rich and smooth, like the best kind of lover.... and here is my absolute favourite recipe. It's so easy to make, and keeps for almost a month in a jar with a lid. I've made mine for Christmas already, as it is magical with meringues, ideal for ice cream and perfect with profiteroles! Not quite sure how you photograph something like this, so I wasted some on a plate, below...
If you use dairy free dark chocolate, then this recipe has the amazing merit of being both dairy and gluten free.
