Chocolate Sauce Recipe[Makes about 1 cup (236 ml)]
- 3.5 oz (100g) dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or dutch-processed

Chocolate Sauce Recipe
- Place the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and heat until the chocolate has melted.
- With the pan off the heat, stir in the golden syrup, followed by the heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt.

Notes
- I cut the quantity of my choux pastry recipe into half and made eight (8) choux pastry.
- For profiteroles, make sure you make bigger choux pastry (big enough to hold one scoop of ice cream). When piping the choux pastry dough, please pipe more dough to make the choux pastry bigger.
