How to Make Chocolate Chili Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or more, to taste) in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Cook over very low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust chili powder as needed.
  4. Serve warm over your favorite dessert or chill for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Gently reheat before serving.
