How to Make Hot Chocolate Sauce For Ice Cream
- Melt 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler over (not in) simmering water. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter to the melted chocolate and stir until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of boiling water until well blended and smooth.
- Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Do not stir.
- Boil for 8 minutes for a sauce that hardens beautifully on ice cream (5 minutes for a softer sauce).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Leftover sauce can be reheated gently over hot water.
