Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder Hershey's is good
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter and chocolate together in a double boiler, or in a large metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  2. Combine the sugar and cocoa in another bowl and then stir in the heavy cream, mixing until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir the cream chocolate sauce into the melted chocolate and butter.
  4. Cook the mixture over simmering water for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Whisk in the vanilla.
  6. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

  • The sauce can be stored in the fridge in a jar with a lid (or container with a lid) for up to 2 weeks.  It will harden somewhat, however, when chilled.  To loosen it, simply let it sit out at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, or place it in the microwave and hit "Defrost" for about 30 seconds.
  • The sauce can be reheated in a pan on the stove over very low heat, or kept warm in a small slow-cooker, or nuked in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
