How to Make Orange Chocolate Sauce
- In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 large orange. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly reduces (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the orange zest. Return the sauce to the saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot.
- Turn off the heat. Add 6 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes without stirring, allowing the chocolate to melt completely.
- Whisk the sauce until smooth and glossy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and whisk until fully incorporated.
- If using, whisk in 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier.
- Serve warm or hot. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
