Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Cook the raspberries for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and begin to break down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the raspberry mixture into a bowl, extracting the juice and discarding the seeds.
Return the strained raspberry juice to the saucepan and place it back on low heat.
Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully dissolved and smooth.
Add the heavy cream and stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Add the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter to the saucepan, stirring until melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and cook the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
