It's just better.
We don't cut corners with our mixes. This cocoa has two to three times the cocoa butter of ordinary cocoa ( 22-24% rather than 8-10% found in grocery stores).
Our mixes are way better with this cocoa. Your baking will be much better with this cocoa, too.
How to Make Fabulous Hot Fudge Sauce
It’s easy to make this hot fudge sauce. We made this both with 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup of cocoa. Both work. Of course, you get a little deeper flavor with 3/4 cup of cocoa. As with other hot fudge sauces, this thickens as it cools. You can reheat it in the microwave. You can also thin your sauce with additional cream.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Ramstadt Breda Rich Dark Cocoa or equal
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Mix the cocoa and sugar together in a small bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave.
- Add the cocoa and sugar mixture to a small saucepan. Add the melted butter and cream. Heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the ganache starts to bubble. Remove from the heat.
- Let the ganache cool until it reaches the desired consistency. Thin with additional cream if necessary.
Baker's note:
Nothing beats cream, but if you don't have any on hand, use milk. The quality of the cocoa will carry the sauce.
Be sure to mix the cocoa and granulated sugar together before cooking to eliminate any lumps and make a smooth sauce.
Questions About This Cocoa
- What makes it so good? Well, it's the cocoa butter, but it's also the processing. In Europe, it's generations of working with cocoa beans. It's artisan work handed down. But no matter how good you are, you must have good, rich beans.
- Does it taste different? It tastes different. It even smells different. It has a deep, rich flavor. It's a richer flavor, but it's still smooth.
- Do I need to make any changes in my recipe? No. All cocoa is bitter without sugar. If you liked the recipe before, it will be better with better cocoa.T
- How should I store my cocoa? Seal the bag and store it in a dark, cool cupboard. The ideal temperature is 60 to 70 degrees, not above the store.
- How long will it last? Three years in a sealed bag in a cooler cupboard.
- Will it last longer in the refrigerator or freezer? No, in fact it may affect the taste. Just keep it dry and out of the sunlight.
