Here is the delicious chocolate sauce recipe that I mentioned last week. This goes great with the Fantastic Vanilla Ice Cream or any ice cream for that matter.

8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
2 tsp. dry instant espresso or coffee
1/4 cup boiling water
3 TBS. whipping cream
1/4 cup Grand Marnier

Finely chop the chocolate in a food processor. Transfer to a double boiler.

Dissolve the espresso in the boiling water. Add to the chocolate.

Add the whipping cream. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Remove from the heat and beat in the Grand Marnier.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
