Easy Chocolate Sauce
A very long time ago, when my mom lived in Seattle, she had a "Banana Split Dessert" at a friend's house. When we came to visit, she made it for us. While the bananas and ice cream were tasty, it was the sauce that was over the entire thing that made the biggest impression on us.
Since then, we've made just the sauce many, many times. We ladle it over Angel Food Cakes. We drizzle it over a cake that has vanilla frosting. One time a child chose chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, with chocolate sauce for her birthday cake!
Once I used it in a medicinal way. Delaney was a wee babe and it was time for her to learn to fall asleep on her own. As she lay grizzling away in her crib, I made a pot of chocolate sauce and ate it by the spoonful while she learned to sleep. Yes, it was medicinal.
Today is Delaney's Child of God Day. That's the anniversary of her Baptism Day. The girls get to choose dessert for their Child of God Day. Delaney chose CHOCOLATE SAUCE. She suggested we just eat it with spoons. Bethany pointed out that we have bananas and pineapple slices. Therefore we sang "Jesus Loves You" and had chocolate sauce with fruit. It was a good dessert.
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 ½ cups evaporated milk
Melt chocolate chips and butter. Add powdered sugar and evaporated milk. Cook until thick and smooth, stirring
constantly.
Remove from heat and add 1
tsp. Vanilla
We cook it in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium heat.
This is great over ice cream, too.
