Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams raisins
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and hot water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to plump up, then drain the water and set the raisins aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and brown sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Reduce heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce.
Stir in the soaked raisins and vanilla extract, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly to thicken.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
