Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small, evenly-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the cream begins to steam. Do not allow it to boil.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chopped chocolate and butter to the saucepan.
Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or any desired desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
