Best Chocolate Sauce

One of the best things about living in Belgium according to me is, there is always good quality of chocolate there. Don't have to search for it, just go even to the smallest shop you will get them.

If you have visited belgium you will agree with me every city as so many chocolate/praline shops.
In out town there is a famous one, when ever we have to go for a dinner or there is guest I always go there to buy our chocolate. The moment you get into the shop the air you breath in is chocolate, I always tell I could just stay in that shop taking in this chocolarte air.
Last week when I went there, they had this letter hanging there wanted job students for working in the weekend and i came home and told my hubby what a shame i am not a student otherwise i could have gone and worked there and his remark was yeah...........you will be like a ball in a week.



Ingridients
200 ml cream
250 gm dark chocolate chop them up ( use the best quality)
60 gm sugar
250 ml milk

Add all the ingridients in a pan and bring it to boil and then cook in the low fire for 6 to 8 minutes till it thickens up.
One thing you should do is stir the sacu continuosly.
If it is too thick you can always add a bot more cream/milk to loosen it up.
I always serve this sauce hot poured over Vanilla ice cream.
You can freeze this sauce in portions and use it when ever you want, which i think is really handy.

This is one of the best chocolate sauces, you can use it with cakes, and especially with ice creams.
