How to Make Mexican Chocolate Sauce
- Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a bare simmer over medium-low heat. Place 8 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup of water in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan (making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let it cool slightly. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of your favorite coffee liqueur (optional, but recommended!), and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until well combined.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely to room temperature. This will help it thicken.
- Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight container or jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The sauce will keep, covered and chilled, for up to 1 month.
- Serve generously over your favorite ice cream, churros, or even pound cake! Enjoy!
