This was delicious. I found it to be an ample amount of sauce. I had to add more cream to thin it out a bit, as it was too thick to drizzle. Myself and 2 children had this with pancakes and I have loads left over. It is very rich.

I made this quickly after realising we were out of nutella for waffles. We also didn't have any cream so i subbed for less milk and it worked really well. A much better alternative!

This recipe made just enough chocolate sauce for 2 children to have with pancakes. Aged 7 and 8.
I was left to scrape the bottom of the pot for my pancakes.

Made earlier today. Having read some earlier reviews I used double the quantity of 70% chocolate. Made and stored in fridge before gently warming in microwave (on a low setting). Served later with my strawberries and ice cream. Yummy and a good consistency, but following recipe quantities it was too…
