    Chocolate Sauce Recipes FAQs

    Why is my homemade chocolate sauce grainy?

    The chocolate sauce becomes grainy when it is heated for too long or incorrectly, due to moisture levels in the chocolate. Heat homemade chocolate sauce in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, to keep it smooth and creamy. Heating for longer than 30 seconds at a time may cause the chocolate to seize, which will give it a grainy texture.

    How long does homemade chocolate sauce last?

    Homemade chocolate sauce will last up to 5-7 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Can you reheat homemade chocolate sauce?

    Reheat the chocolate sauce in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals, until smooth and creamy again.
