This recipe uses very little sugar, so it does not make a dessert that will shock your palate after a dinner of savory dishes. And, it is quite different from a mixed berry compote or a raspberry coulis as you do not cook this sauce. And I think this makes it a perfect dish to serve in the warmer months! Print off the recipe card at the bottom of this post for a good way…

    How To Make This Easy Homemade Chocolate Dipping Sauce Recipe

    /1 Comment

    This Chocolate Dipping Sauce recipe makes a thick, delicious chocolate sauce that is both an elegant and fun dessert. Think chocolate fondue, but without the hassle of using a Sterno burner. It is a great dessert for everything from romantic evenings at home to large summer parties. When it comes to indulgent desserts my mind immediately goes to something chocolate. Something rich, creamy, dark, and smooth. A decadent dessert is not really in the category of healthy recipes, but it is nice to indulge once in a while.
