Dr. Oetker Çikolatalı Sos is a chocolate dessert sauce that comes as a powder in a sachet and is finished at home with milk. Cooked on the hob, it becomes a warm, glossy sauce with a rounded cocoa flavour that makes everyday sweets look a little more special. The sauce is designed to stay smooth and pourable rather than set hard, and the manufacturer describes it as not forming a crust.
Preparation is simple. Pour 500 ml (2.5 cups) of milk into a saucepan, stir in the powder and keep stirring over the heat until it starts to boil. Lower the heat, let it bubble gently for two or three minutes while stirring, then remove it from the heat and stir occasionally as it cools. Pour it over ice cream, muffins, cakes, pancakes, waffles, milk puddings or profiteroles, or use it as a dipping sauce for fruit and biscuits. Because it is thinner than a spread, it also works as the chocolate layer in parfaits and trifles.
Store the unopened sachet in a cool, dry place and keep the prepared sauce covered in the fridge for a short time, warming it gently before serving. Versions of this sachet are sold with different weights and slightly different ingredient lists (128 g on this listing, 123 g on the manufacturer's current page), so please rely on the ingredient list and allergen statement printed on your own pack.
