Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
0.25 cup granulated sugar
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped or chips, 60-70% cocoa)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 3

Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Allow the sauce to cool slightly, as it will thicken as it cools.

Step 6

Serve warm over your favorite desserts like ice cream or pound cake. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week and reheat gently before serving.
