A simple chocolate sauce that can be used in many ways!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chocolate good quality, chopped, chips, or callets, etc.

Instructions

  • Put the cream into a small pot over medium low heat.
  • Add the chocolate pieces, callets, chips or whatever you’re using (just don’t add huge chunks or it won’t melt quickly enough). 
  • Stir quickly touching the bottom of the pan to ensure the chocolate doesn’t stick.
  • Within a minute or two, you’ll start to get a smooth, thick consistency forming. Turn off the heat at this point and continue stirring until completely smooth and glossy. 
  • You can add more hot cream if you want a less thick sauce, but I prefer it with the original 1:1 ratio. See how rich, thick and glossy it is? Perfection!
  • Use as desired. Keep leftover sauce refrigerated for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use on ice cream, desserts, cheesecake, and banana splits.
  • Dip fruit, marshmallow, cookies, or cake into it like fondue.
  • Roll into balls when cool to make truffles.
