Gloria's Chocolate Syrup Sauce

"When I was a girl one of our neighbors used to make this sauce, and I've been making it ever since. It is nice and thick, couldn't be easier to make, and goes perfectly over vanilla ice cream."

  1. I thought this turned out great. I did add 1 more tbls. cocoa. Great with vanilla ice cream.
     
  2. Not bad, just not to my taste. I boiled it to a syrup consistency-about 5 minutes. After cooling, it was of a rather thick, syrupy consistency. I put it on ice-cream. It didn't adhere as well as I would have liked-sort of "slid off" leaving a very thin coating. If you like your sauce incredibly sweet and lightly chocolate flavoured, this is for you.
     
  3. I boiled for about 5 min. since it didn't seem to "coat" the spoon. Sauce is very sugary and when poured over ice cream because almost caramel-like. Not what I was expecting, but not too bad either.
     
  4. This was "Hai Chi"{which means DELICIOUS in Chinese!} On a perfectly hot and sunny day like yesterday, this went a long way in satisfying my chocolate craving over a cold scoop of ice cream. Thank you very very much for sharing this!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home. I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!) I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
