Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped or chips, 60-70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and granulated sugar.
Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let the mixture boil.
Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, as it will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts like ice cream or pound cake. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week and reheat gently before serving.
