Here is a quick ‘in your cupboard’ chocolate sauce that’s worthy of an artisan ice cream parlor:

Start with 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter

Add 1 tbsp of golden syrup – recipe below:

• 1 1/4 cups water (300 ml)
• 4 cups (800 g) sugar (for a deeper flavor try substituting a little brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (either fresh or bottled will work)
• OR 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (instead of the lemon juice)

Add 1 tbsp of sugar

Add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to a pan and heat gently, stirring well until smooth and glossy

Allow to cool for a few minutes, then pour generously over a few scoops of French Vanilla ice cream.

The perfect combination.
