If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. Please link to your specific post, not your blog's home page. For more info, see the welcome post.Hot and steamy in Florida, so what could be an easier more delectable treat than ice cream. Of course, a little scrumptious home made chocolate sauce on it never hurts! I got this recipe from a friend years ago and it is supposedly the recipe from Bailey's in Boston. A sundae enjoyed at Bailey's Ice Cream Parlor was the highlight of a trip intown for me as a kid. Those silver bowls of ice cream with creamy hot sauce poured over it was a little bit of heaven. Since July is officially National ice cream month, I thought this would be an appropriate recipe for my first weekend cooking post.
Bailey's chocolate sauce:
2 squares of unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. ( 1 stick) of butter
2 c. of confectioner's sugar
1 small can of evaporated milk
Slowly melt chocolate and butter together.
Remove from heat and add sugar and milk alternately.
Stir until smooth.
Return to hear and simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently.
The aroma will be enough to have you running to the freezer for your favorite flavor of ice cream. I've also used a little of this over cream puffs instead of making a glaze. I think my cooking skills are better than my photographic skills. Enjoy!
This looks heavenly and very, very easy.
ReplyDeleteFood photography is really difficult, but you did a fine job.
Oooh, I can almost smell it! Thanks for the recipe, Kaye :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, that sounds and looks so good. It's very early here on the West Coast and I'm trying to think of a way to manage that Chocolate Sauce for breakfast. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Glad you joined in Weekend Cooking.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to print this out - my guys love chocolate sauce on their ice cream.
ReplyDeleteMmmh, this sounds really yummy, and seems to be simple to boot. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting - I'm posting a recipe tomorrow for chocolate sauce that is virtually the same except it features small can of condensed milk instead of small can of evaporated milk. I'd be very curious to try the recipes together and see how they differ!
ReplyDeleteOh my .... this sounds wonderful! I think I may have to make another batch of homemade ice cream this weekend so I can try out this recipe :)
ReplyDeleteOh.....looks so good. Ice cream sundaes are my downfall. I have memories with the silver sundae bowls from "Newport Creamery".

Oh, yum ... that looks delicious. (And I agree with Beth F. about food photography being really difficult. You did just fine!)
ReplyDeleteSomeone stop me...I'm diving in!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks sooooo good Kaye. Your picture has me salivating all over my keyboard lol
ReplyDeleteOkay...now I want dessert; thanks Kaye...looks yummy
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought we were friends! First you tell us it is National Ice Cream Month (I didn't know and it would have been a good excuse to eat some) and then this recipe and picture...and me on a no carb diet! You are killing me and I may have to turn off the alarm and sneak out of the house at 2 am without my husband hearing me to search out the first open store for some ice cream...OR, just swoon over your picture and wish really hard for it to be in front of me...honestly, Kaye...Powerful Penguin Presentation...YUM!
ReplyDeleteOh dear....I am on my knees!! and Where's my bib? Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I have to try this!
ReplyDeletethere are few things in the world as good as a good chocolate sauce. sure you can add some ice cream or something but a spoon will do! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust seeing the title of your post put 5 pounds on me! Thanks for sharing this recipe! It sounds amazing! And I could probably just put the chocolate and butter out on the patio to melt it because it's almost 90!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
That sounds delicious, but then really, you had me at "chocolate sauce." :)
ReplyDeleteOh yum, I love anything chocolate and that looks so good.
ReplyDeleteall you had to say was chocolate and I had to come over and check out the post. YUM!
