Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 30 ml dark rum
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved completely. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Slowly whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in a microwave or over low heat before using.
