How to Make White Chocolate Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the cream is simmering (gentle bubbles around the edges).
- Remove from heat. In a heatproof bowl, place 12 ounces of finely chopped premium white chocolate.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon creme de cacao (optional; see variations below).
- Serve warm or at room temperature over your favorite desserts.
- **Variations:**
- - **White Chocolate Almond Sauce:** Substitute 1 tablespoon amaretto for the creme de cacao and stir in 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds.
- - **White Chocolate Rum Sauce:** Add 3 tablespoons gold rum or coconut rum after step 5.
