Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate to the cream. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Whisk the chocolate and cream until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Return the saucepan to low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warm and glossy. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
