Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 45 milliliters Frangelico liqueur
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer but does not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy.
Stir in the unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon at a time, until fully incorporated.
Add the Frangelico liqueur and vanilla extract to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a small amount of sugar or a drop of Frangelico for additional flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be used warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
