How to Make Hot Chocolate Sauce For Ice Cream

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