Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams raisins
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and hot water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to plump up, then drain the water and set the raisins aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and brown sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce.
Step 6
Stir in the soaked raisins and vanilla extract, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly to thicken.
Step 8
Serve warm over your favorite desserts or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
