Easy Chocolate Sauce
Description
The recipe melts bittersweet chocolate chunks with light corn syrup over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. A pinch of kosher salt is added to enhance the chocolate’s flavor. Heavy whipping cream is then whisked in gradually until the sauce reaches a creamy, pourable consistency. The corn syrup contributes to a glossy texture and prevents crystallization, resulting in a silky sauce.
This chocolate sauce is perfect when served warm over ice cream, adding a rich chocolate layer that softens slightly when drizzled. It can also be used on cakes, pancakes, or other desserts that benefit from a decadent chocolate topping.
Stored in the refrigerator, the sauce keeps well for three to four weeks and can be gently reheated before serving. The recipe suggests using bittersweet chocolate chunks for a deep chocolate taste, though semi-sweet chips are a suitable alternative.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chunks 62% cacao, Private Selection
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¾ to 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Add the bittersweet chocolate chunks to a small saucepan with the light corn syrup and warm over medium-low heat. Stir often until the chocolate melts and becomes smooth, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of kosher salt, stir well, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk ¾ cup of the whipping cream into the chocolate until smooth, adding more whipping cream until you achieve the desired consistency. Serve warm over ice cream. Refrigerate for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
- Use bittersweet chocolate chunks for a richer chocolate flavor, or substitute semi-sweet chips if preferred.
- Store the sauce refrigerated for up to 3-4 weeks and warm gently before serving.
