Basic Chocolate Sauce

• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/4 cup Sugar 
• 1/8 cup Cocoa
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Are you kidding me?  Chocolate is the very foundation of modern civilization! Whip up this stuff and let the procreation of the species continue!

Put the evenly mixed sugar and cocoa and just a little bit of the cream in a saucepan and heat over LOW heat until the sugar melts.  Add the rest of the cream, slowly.  I suggest you use heavy cream.  I mean, c'mon, you've come this far with the fat calories, why stop now?  Add the vanilla and continue to heat and reduce until you get the desired thickness. 

Speaking of, my friends, you can get creative and add small amounts of flavorings like:

• fresh ginger
• lemon oil
• orange oil
• splash of liquor, like Cognac, Cointreau, Kalua

Goes awesome on....well, about anything. ;-)
