How to Make Chocolate Sauce
- Finely chop 6 ounces (170g) of high-quality dark chocolate.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer around the edges (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
- Whisk gently until the sauce is completely smooth and glossy.
- For an extra special touch, stir in 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier, Baileys Irish Cream, or another liqueur of your choice (optional).
- Serve warm or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. To reheat, gently warm over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
