Rich Dark Chocolate Sauce

  • Yield: 1 cups

Ingredients

1cup heavy cream
1tablespoon light corn syrup
4ounces dark chocolate, chopped
2tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the cream and corn syrup and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil, which will give the cream a “cooked” taste. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate, a few pieces at a time, until blended and smooth. If the cream cools off too much to melt the chocolate, return the sauce to low heat for a few seconds. Whisk in the butter and salt until the sauce is glossy. Serve warm or slightly cooled.
