Easy Chocolate Sauce

This easy chocolate sauce recipe is so simple and quick to make using cocoa powder, sugar and your choice of flavouring, in this case vanilla extract.
Then you can choose double cream, single cream or milk depending how thick and rich you want the sauce?
Using cream makes a thicker chocolate fudge flavoured sauce whereas milk will result in a runny chocolate syrup.
Can be served hot or cold poured on puddings, drizzled over ice creams, pancakes and cakes or dip fruit into it.
This homemade chocolate sauce stays liquid if warm or cool, doesn't set and or go hard when cooled so can be made ahead.
