Calling all balsamic lovers! Start by reducing balsamic vinegar with a stick of cinnamon to gently infuse it as it simmers away. Then add cocoa powder, a little sugar, and a splash of vanilla and you have a flavorful chocolate sauce with a slight tang. Try this sauce drizzled over berries or a plate of panna cotta, or how about a dish of panna cotta topped with berries and drizzled with this tasty sauce! Raspberry balsamic vinegar can sub in for the regular kind.
