Back when I first made my Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars, I didn't want to use a caramel sauce on that dessert. First, I am extremely picky about the caramel I eat, and two, it's super messy to work with. Out of the depths of my brain came a memory of a very simple chocolate sauce my grandma used to use all the time. After consulting the Internet for support, I had the recipe. It's incredibly easy and super delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120g unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3 tbs milk
- 90g powdered sugar (1/2 cup)
You will need a medium pot.
On medium heat, melt the butter in the pot. Add milk and sugar; mix. Add cocoa powder and mix until the sauce looks like a glaze. Remove from heat once done.
This can be used as ice cream topping, on cakes, pancakes, etc. Sky is the limit.
Enjoy!
Even though the ingredient list is very short, this is a labor intensive recipe. It will turn out just fine as long as you're patient and follow the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 9 eggs
- 400g of dark chocolate (it's roughly 0.85lbs) - 72% is best
- 250g of powdered sugar (about 7oz)
- a pinch of salt
- 200g of unsalted butter (2 sticks)
You will also need wax paper and a square pan (8x8in). Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Stick the butter and chocolate in a glass bowl and set over steaming water in a pot (make sure water doesn't get inside). Mix until it's uniform and set aside to chill completely.
- Separate egg whites and yolks.
- Put yolks in a large bowl, add sugar and mix until uniform.
- Whip the egg whites until they have soft peaks.
- Gradually stir in the chocolate sauce into yolk and sugar mixture. Afterwards, fold in the whipped egg whites. The mixture should be really fluffy now.
- Line the pan on all sides with the wax paper. Pour in the mixture and bake it for approx. 35 min. If the middle still looks runny, bake it for about 10 more minutes.
- Once it's done, let it cool. IT WILL COLLAPSE!
- Cut it into pieces and serve with whipped cream, and/or fresh fruit, or preserves.
Enjoy!
