Orange-Chocolate Ice Cream Sauce image

This is sublime, and always a hit with dinner guests. To cut down the fat/calories, use water instead of milk, and eliminate the chopped chocolate. Warning: it won't be as rich or as luscious if you do this! After you dish out the ice cream and pour on the sauce, I also suggest adding some freshly grated orange zest on top. Your guests will love it!

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk (use water if you want to cut down the dairy and/or the calories)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine sugar and cocoa, then whisk in milk, then chopped chocolate.
  • Turn heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in remaining ingredients until sauce is smooth.
  • Serve either chilled or warmed, over vanilla ice cream.
  • Store in the fridge, but this sauce will keep well in the freezer if your batch won't be gone within a week or two.
