I'm having the olds for dinner on Sunday and thought for dessert I'd cheat and buy some ice cream but make some chocolate sauce (and add spices and chilli to it!). I'll get some real chocolate but don't really want to buy cream - would it still work if I just used whole milk, the non-homogenised type, or would it turn into chocolate milk?

I've used it with milk. I heated a smaller quantity of milk (than the normal amount of cream you would use) and heated it with the chocolate.

I did put in some butter, though!

Thanks for the replies! In the end I just melted down half a block of Whittakers 62% with the milk (sloooooowly), and it did start turning to chocolate milk but came together and it was great, not too rich like it can be with cream. The chilli made it fantastic too. There's still some in the fridge but it's thickened so much as to be unpourable so *some* poor person will have to eat it with a spoon.

I made Chef_catsmeat1's recipe..only I was short on butter and milk..so I replaced water with milk and butter with vege oil, which worked fine. turned into a thick creamy chocolate fudge sauce was very happy with it. cheers for the recipe.
