Today I decided to share an easy recipe that is always good to have tucked away, for those times when you don’t feel like baking. This can be used on icecream or poured over poached pears.
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate or 4 tablespoons of cocoa,
- 11/2 cups sugar
- 11/2 cups water
- 11/2 tablespoons cornflour (or one bare tbsp for a thinner sauce)
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Boil to required consistency.It needs to be easy to pour over icecream.
Original recipe written by Mrs. W. T. Findlay, Campbell Town, Tasmania
published in ‘The 21st Birthday Cookery Book of the Country Women’s Association in Tasmania’ 1963
