How to Make Chocolate Espresso Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and add 4 ounces (113g) of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  5. Whisk vigorously until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
