choco sauce... yummie

[berta_the_aspie]

I was desperately searching for chocolate in the kitchen and all i could find that was vegan was cocoa powder and chocolate sauce...
cocoa poweder is vegan, I know that, but what about choco sauce? I have no idea what the ingredients mean.

[twinkle]

what are the ingredients? might help

I have a recipe for chocolate sauce if that's any help:

1 spoon cocoa powder
1 spoon margarine
1 spoon golden syrup

heat in small pan until starting to bubble, take off heat and pour over vanilla soya ice cream. Very sweet and bitter and yummy.

or even better if you have some chocolate:

50-100g Vegan Chocolate
1 Tbsp margerine
1 Tbsp Golden Syrup

Melt and combine together in a bowl over boiling water, or over a very low heat in a pan if lazy. Be sure not to boil as it will change the taste of the chocolate. You're essentially just melting chocolate, making it a bit sweeter and ensuring that it stays as a sauce as opposed to setting again. It goes quite odd without the margerine, the golden syrup stops the chocolate from re-setting but makes it go too viscous on it's own. To much margerine however will affect the taste. If you are using margerine that isn't just made from vegetable oils, like some funky weird vegan ones I've found in health food shops before then consider just usign some sunflower oil instead. You need to experiement a bit with the amounts to get it correct for your taste. I generally try and go for something a bit more extravagent when i have the energy (proper chocolate fudge sauce (ie that made with boiled sugar) is far superior), but the above suffices when feeling lazy or I'm eating alone.
