I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- 1. Add all ingredients to bowl. Blend 1 min, speed 10.
2. Scrape down sides and lid. Cook 6 mins, 90°, speed 3 until thickened. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
3. Transfer to a clean jar and store in fridge.
Serve warm over ice cream or cold as a dipping sauce for fruit.
Can be re-heated.
Tip
You can substitute 50-80g of unsweetened dark chocolate for the cocoa/cacao powder.
VARIATIONS:
JAFFA: Add zest of half an orange in Step 1. You can also juice the orange and top up the juice with water to 260ml.This will result in a less sweet sauce.
CHOC MINT: Add peppermint essence to taste.
MOCHA: Use 260g of black coffee instead of water, or 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee powder.
CHOC GINGER: Add 1/2 to 1 tsp ground ginger, or to taste.

I love this sauce! Made for my 2yo birthday party, served with tiny teddies and fruit. It was a big hit with kids and adults. I love the sweetness level, just enough but not sickly and no nasties for the little ones. Also took the leftovers to work and they traveled really well.
This is great! Kids loved it! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
oh yes - mocha version! I might add that to the variations. Thanks wendoree.
Oh my goodness!! Amazing recipe thankyou!! My toddler is going to love this for dipping fruit in... If I don't eat it all first!!
This is awesome. I love chocolate orange, this is a perfect flavour, delicious with a fruit platter. I will definitely try the peppermint version too and maybe even a coffee version. Love that it is so natural without all the artificial crap. Will be marked favourite in my recipe collection. Thank you!
Made this tonight - it was very tasty. Loved it because it wasn't so sweet. put in a small 30ml container to be used for cravings in the afternoons. Meant to give this four stars at least
