Chocolate Barbecue Sauce

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This DYI BBQ Chocolate Sauce is the Perfect Balance of Sweet & Savory

— June 24, 2015 — Lifestyle
This decadent BBQ chocolate sauce is actually used to enhance your desserts instead of smearing it all over a steak or rack of ribs. The easy DIY recipe is the perfect way to complete a summer barbecue by serving the sweet and savory sauce with dessert.

The simple recipe combines eight ounces of chopped up semi-sweet chocolate with a tablespoon of corn syrup, a cup of heavy cream, half a cup of milk and four tablespoons of your desired BBQ sauce. The secret to adding a pop of spicy flavor is to toss in a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. This extra kick pairs extremely well with the deliciously sweet chocolate.

This creative BBQ chocolate sauce was introduced by chocolatier Francois Payard. It's the perfect topping to ice cream, pie, berries and any other seasonal fruits. It's great for dipping and drizzling and is sure to dazzle your guests.
