Ingredients

▢ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
▢ 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
▢ 2 tablespoons corn syrup
▢ 1/3 cup good quality bittersweet (dark, or semisweet chocolate, chopped (can use good quality chocolate chips))
▢ 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
▢ 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
▢ 1/2 cup heavy cream
▢ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Melt the granulated sugar and butter together in a small saucepan set over low heat, stirring often.
2. Add the chocolate and stir occasionally, let it melt, and incorporate it into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in cocoa powder and salt until fully incorporated.
3. Remove the sauce from heat and slowly whisk in heavy cream until fully incorporated – the chocolate sauce will be smooth and shiny. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the saucepan. Add the vanilla extract. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed.
4. The sauce will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. To rewarm, gently microwave for 10-15 seconds, or place in a saucepan over very low heat.
