Warm, Sweet, Heavenly Chocolate Sauce

It’s that time of year! The days are getting shorter and there is a crisp chill in the air.  Hot cocoa sounds good but a syringe of pure warm chocolate straight to my tongue sounds even better.  I’m not kidding.  It’s nothing short of heaven.

The syringe comes from Max Brenner’s restaurant.  It’s a restaurant completely centered on chocolate.  Yes, I know, Max Brenner is a genius.  (He’s also an amiable plane buddy.  I unknowingly sat next to him on a cross country flight one evening with my 1-yr-old who absent-mindedly caressed his arm as she was falling asleep.)  Anywho, once I discovered that I spent 5 hours chatting it up with a famous restauranteur, I had to check it out.  The place was amazing but we only had time for the chocolate syringe.  We had one day in New York and about eight other restaurants to visit. You know how it goes.

This chocolate sauce recipe is the closest thing I have found to the chocolate syringe.  Here’s how it goes for me.  Scoop ice cream.  Pour on the sauce.  Finish the bowl.  Another scoop, a little smaller.  Pour on the sauce, a little more this time. Finish.  One more tiny scoop.  Even more chocolate sauce than last time. Devour it.  Who am I kidding?  I’d pour the chocolate sauce into an empty bowl (or an empty syringe) and just eat it.  Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, baby.  Life is good.

It’s made from very few ingredients.  Make sure to follow the order of instructions.  Adding it all together at once will yield lumpy and almost gelatinous syrup.  Not good.

Boil the mixture for at least 5 minutes.  (A Williams-Sonoma silicon spoonula is perfect for this job.)  The longer you boil, the thicker it will be.  Ten minutes & it will be about the consistency of hot fudge.   I usually settle somewhere between seven and eight.
