Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Using a spatula or whisk, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate and cream combine into a smooth, glossy sauce.
Add the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture. Continue stirring until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently if needed.
