Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips (or 1½ ounces from a bar, chopped)
  • ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa, sifted
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and let simmer for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate); whisk until they are completely melted. Add the sifted cocoa and whisk until no lumps remain.
  2. Return the pan to low heat and simmer the sauce, whisking constantly, until it becomes glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. Serve the sauce warm.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the sauce in a jar or covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or reheat gently on medium power in the microwave. Be careful not to let it boil.
