Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but do not let it come to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Whisk continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved, enhancing the chocolate flavor with a touch of robust coffee essence.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dark rum, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the butter is fully melted and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools, creating a luscious consistency.
Serve warm drizzled over desserts like ice cream, cakes, or pancakes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
