Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, evenly-sized pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat as soon as small bubbles form around the edges of the pan.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. This allows the chocolate to begin melting.
Step 4
Using a whisk or a spatula, gently stir the chocolate mixture in small circles until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Stir well to incorporate.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the chocolate sauce to a serving dish or a storage container if not using immediately. Reheat gently in a microwave or over low heat if needed.
