How to Make Hot Chocolate Rum Sauce

  1. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until completely smooth.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of dark rum (or to taste). Continue to heat gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until warmed through. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
