Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, or fresh fruit. Store leftovers in a jar in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
- This sauce thickens as it cools but stays pourable when gently reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
