Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 80 milliliters Heavy cream
- 20 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the cream is warm but not boiling.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey, ground chili powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the mixture gently until smooth and glossy. If the chocolate doesn’t melt completely, place the saucepan back on very low heat and stir continuously until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract to finish the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of heat, if necessary.
Serve warm drizzled over ice cream, cakes, or even savory dishes like roasted meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
