Chocolate Makes It All Better
This has been one crazy week! I am in tech rehearsal for a production of Show Boat I am doing and the average time I have gotten home this week has been about 12:30am. Ouch. I planned ahead, however, and knew I would be craving chocolate when I got home every night (I know myself so well). So, I made chocolate sauce this past weekend...and boy is it delicious.
Actually, everything David Lebovitz makes is delicious. I highly recommend his chocolate sauce, though. SO much better than the store-bought Hershey's kind. I have been putting this on top of some Greek Fage Yogurt every night when I get home and it really hits the spot!
The Best Chocolate Sauce Recipe
Courtesy of David Lebovitz
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Whisk together the water, sugar, corn syrup and cocoa powder in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When it simmers, remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until melted.
You are inspiring me to be better about my own chocolate intake. (Cheesy grin.) :)
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! I am so impressed. I expect great things from whatever you decide to bring to the cast party tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis was the best thing ever! I wanted to pour the whole jug in my mouth
ReplyDeleteI have been on a quest for the best chocolate sauce for many years--not an unpleasant task! If Lebovitz says it's the best, well then I have to try it. :))
ReplyDeleteNever thought about putting it on yogurt--that is genius and reduces the guilt factor for me!
OK, I made this. Yum! What did you bring to the cast party? :)))
