The Ultimate Chocolate Sauce
If you are looking for low fat, low calorie this isn’t for you! If you are a looking for chocolatey decadence, you will love the ultimate chocolate sauce. Serve it over ice cream, cake, use it a fruit dip… Or just eat it off the spoon! (Did I say that?)
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 pound semisweet chocolate, (8 squares) chopped in chunks or 1 and 1/3 cup of semisweet chocolate chips (see note)
- 1/2 teaspoon Watkins vanilla (or extract of your choice)
Directions
- Heat the cream and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chocolate, stir until it's melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla, remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Serve at room temperature or warmed slightly. Makes about 2 cups.
Store the chocolate sauce in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. I like to use a glass pint jar. Sauce will be very thick. To serve, place container in warm (not hot) water, stir as it softens until it’s pouring consistency.
I used semi-sweet chocolate chips with 51% cacao.
