Homemade Chocolate Sauce is incredibly easy to make and very much better than the store bought chocolate sauce. Whip up a batch in only 5 minutes and then drizzle it on all your favorite desserts!
Don’t have chocolate sauce at home and need it immediately? Don’t worry, you have landed at the right place. Try this extremely easy 5 minutes chocolate sauce. It is much better than the packaged chocolate sauce. I bet you’ll make them over again!
This is the BEST chocolate sauce recipe I’ve been making over the years. This is the absolute favorite in my repertoire. I came up with it years ago when I was compelled to create a chocolate sauce that was rich, thick, glossy for one of my favourite chocolate cake recipe.
You only need a few ingredients to make this homemade chocolate sauce and it tastes better than any chocolate syrup you can buy at the store. Silky smooth, glossy, not overly sweet, and incredibly chocolatey. This is the chocolate sauce I make each time I need it.
I love my chocolate sauce with chocolate. It makes the sauce richer in taste and texture. Many don’t use chocolate for making chocolate sauce. They make the work done with cocoa powder and cornstarch. To be honest I don’t like using cornstarch in my chocolate sauce.
Here I have used Ossoro’s cocoa powder. You can use any brand of cocoa powder, but make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
I used a bit of butter in my chocolate sauce which tends to give an extra gloss to the chocolate sauce, though adding butter is totally optional. You just need to use a good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. You’ll appreciate the difference in this intensely dark and flavorful chocolate sauce.
Then comes the essence, though you can skip the essence here. I have used Ossoro’s chocolate truffle essence. You can totally skip the essence or use vanilla or chocolate essence.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS CHOCOLATE SAUCE
● Quick and easy
● Ready in 5 minutes
● No preservatives
● So smooth, thick and glossy
● It has chocolate which makes it chocolatey and richer.

It is also convenient for you that you don’t need to go to the store to buy the sauce when you need it, you could have already made some and be enjoying it. That’s how quick and easy this homemade chocolate sauce recipe is. Are you buying the chocolate sauce/syrup from store? Stop from now on and make your own chocolate sauce.
I have made a small batch of it. But of course you can double the recipe as needed.
I always keep a jar of chocolate sauce on hand to take a simple ice cream or a cake or dessert to the next level and make it an extra special treat. I also gulp a spoonful of the chocolate sauce when I carve something very chocolatey or to kill my sweet tooth carving. My little one is mad after this chocolate sauce.

Apple almond kheer is a delightful no sugar added Indian style dessert fit for any festival. Flavoured and thickened with almond flour it is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for beginners.
I am not good when it comes to viral recipe trials. By the time I decide buy the ingredients and try it, the trend is over!
Clearly,it needs much more devotion and promptness. So that is an area we shall leave it to the enthusiastic experts. However there is one recipe I have been wanting to try and was waiting for the apple season to come. Enjoy my version of the apple kheer with no added sugar.
What is apple kheer?
Made with full fat milk that’s slow cooks rice grits, kheer is a must try dessert. This is traditionally served in festivals and grand Indian weddings. We have added a whole collection of kheer in our post- Payasam pathaman and kheer
Apple kheer a fusion dessert that embodies the idea of a kheer but has apples and almond flour to flavour and thicken. It is not a super sweet version , rather one to share at dinners or home gatherings.
I make this with no added sugar or sweetener, just the sweetness from the apples making it a bit more on the diabetic friendly Indian dessert side. Please be aware that the apples are sweet enough, so moderate the portion size.
Apple: crunchy sweet apples are the base flavour for this kheer. Personally, I like pink lady or red apples to make this kheer. I would avoid tart green apples as they can be too sour and may split the milk.
Butter or ghee:To kick off the caramelization and the colour on the apples, unsalted bautter or a small amount of ghee is helpful.You can use coconut oil if you are making it vegan.
Almond flour: the almond flour gives a rabdi like feeling to the kheer. I use the blanched almond flour. If you don’t have these you can grind a few almonds or soak them and grind with the milk. Instead of almonds you can used any nuts of your preference like cashews, pistachios. Melon seeds or puffed makhana(lily seeds) powder also taste good and thicken the kheer easily.
Milk: full cream milk is best suited for this recipe. It has the right consistency and doesn’t easily split the milk when adding the sauteed apples. I would avoid almond milk to make this kheer among the plant based ones as it easily splits. You could use coconut or soy as well.
Sweetener: I have actually not added any in this recipe as the apples were super sweet and we like a mild sweetness for our kheer. You can add sugar as the milk boils. If adding jaggery syrup or maple syrup add it after you remove from heat. Alternatively date paste will be lovely in this kheer.
Spices: the common sweet spices used in Indian desserts are saffron and cardamom. I have used a few strands of saffron and powdered cardamom to finish the recipe.
It does take a few steps to make this kheer, however, it is not a hard recipe to follow some absolutely recommend beginners to try it.
To prep the Apple: the Apple can be chopped like I have done or grated to have a smoother kheer. It is optional to peel the apple as this will be all about mouth feel. I leave the peels in as it gives a good bite. Once prepped add the apples to a pan with a touch of unsalted butter. On a low heat let this mix cook down and caramelize. Ensure that this is a low heat process. You can cover the apples for a minute if you feel they are dry. This captures the water from the juices allowing the apples to steam.
Boil the milk: in a separate sauce pan, boil the milk. As it bubbles and boils, stir in the almond flour.
Thicken the milk the almond flour is the thickening agent. When the milk has started boiling and rising a bit, lower the heat to a simmer. Sprinkle the almond flour on the boiling milk. Stir well ensuring it is lump free. Let this cook down for about 5 to 6 minutes with stirring in between.
Add the apples: add the cooked apples into the mix and mix well. You can take off the heat at this point.
Flavouring the kheer: sprinkle cardamom powder and a few kesar strands and mix well. At this stage my kheer is done. If you prefer to add sugar or jaggery syrup do so at this stage and mix well.
If you are using plant based milks the recipe can easily be turned vegan. Coconut milk or soy tastes good. For sauteeing and caramelizing the butter, coconut oil is best.
Can we make this with other fruits?
Of course you can change the fruits to make a variety of kheer. Mango ,jackfruit or plantain banana will be my first choice.
You can try dates and dried figs too. When using sweet dry fruits adjust the sugar accordingly.
Other quick try kheers
Sabudhana kheer
Sweet potato kheer
Mothichoor ladoo kheer
Rajgira kheer
Manipuri black rice kheer
