Fruity Chocolate Death Sauce (Dessert)(permalink)

1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
2oz sweet or semisweet baking chocolate or chocolate chips
2 cups chopped strawberries*
1 tsp corn starch

Heat the milk and sugar on low until warm, stirring constantly to avoid a skin on the milk. Add half the chocolate and turn the heat up to medium. Stir. Once the chocolate is fully melted, add the rest of the chocolate. Stir until chocolate is fully melted, then add strawberries.
Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Stir, then add corn starch mixed with cold water. Stir well.
Re-cover and let cook for 5 more minutes.

At this point, the sauce will taste very strongly of strawberries and chocolate and the strawberries will be very soft. You could use it as a fondue to dip pretzels or other fruit, you could put it on top of cake or ice cream or brownies, or you could just eat it with a spoon.
For pudding, simply put in individual containers and chill for about 4 hours
Serves 1, unless you feel generous.
(actually it serves quite a lot, probably 4 - 6 people)
*You could easily replace the strawberries with any juicy fruit you like. Peaches, for example, would be lovely, as would raspberries, nectarines, etc. Bananas would not be appropriate, though they would be nice dipped in afterwards. I'm undecided about oranges. You could also make this with frozen berries, just defrost them before you put them in!
