Chocolate Fudge Sauce questions
Can I use milk chocolate?
You can, but the sauce will be much sweeter and a little thinner. Cut back on the golden syrup to balance it.
Why leave the chocolate to stand before stirring?
The hot cream melts the chocolate gently without any direct heat. Stirring too soon or heating it hard can make chocolate grainy or split.
How do I make it thinner for drizzling?
Warm it with a splash of milk or cream and stir until smooth. Add a little at a time until it runs off a spoon the way you want.
