30-Second Easy Chocolate Sauce
Description
This quick chocolate sauce is made by microwaving heavy cream or milk until hot but not boiling, then stirring in chocolate chips until fully melted and combined into a uniform sauce. Despite initially appearing thin, continued stirring helps emulsify the mixture into a smooth texture suitable for drizzling. This method allows for a fast, simple chocolate sauce without stovetop heating. The finished sauce pairs well with ice cream or other desserts needing a warm chocolate drizzle.
The recipe adapts slightly when using higher-quality chocolate chips by adjusting the cream amount for optimal consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips 1.5oz
Instructions
- In small microwave-safe bowl, microwave cream or milk for 30 seconds, until simmering. Remove from microwave and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth (the mixture may look quite thin at first, but just keep stirring. It will come together!) Pour over ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
- Use 2 ½ tablespoons of cream or milk instead of 2 tablespoons if using high-quality chocolate chips to achieve better sauce consistency.
