Ingredients
- ¼ Cup heavy cream or milk less fat makes a thicker sauce
- 4 oz/110g chocolate dark or milk
Instructions
- Measure how much chocolate you need. Whether you're using a chocolate bar or chocolate chip, chop the chocolate across as best you can, so that it splinters into very small pieces. Don't add it to your bowl yet.
- Measure out your milk or cream into the small bowl, and heat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Once heated, immediately add in the chopped chocolate in a thin layer.
- Let the ingredients sit for two minutes, to allow the chocolate to slowly melt. If it doesn't sit like this for a couple minutes, the fat and the solids will begin to separate, and it will look like curdling milk.
- After two minutes, stir vigorously with your spoon to combine all of the liquids and the solids. Within 10 seconds, your sauce should start to look like a shiny liquid, now all ready for dipping!
Notes
Overcooking Dairy. Keep an eye on the cream so that it doesn't start cooking in there. If it's still not warm enough, heat it in 5-second intervals until it's quite hot, but not burning.
Type of Chocolate. Use a milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter sauce, or if it pairs better with the flavor of the ice cream or items you'll be using it on (or even if that's just all you have laying around.
You can use a white or ruby chocolate in the recipe, but a white chocolate would likely be lost against the flavor of the ice cream, and ruby chocolate would likely clash with any ice cream flavors.
Sauce That Doesn't Harden. To make an even softer and creamier chocolate sauce, make sure you use a tablespoon of heavy cream, and make it a heavy dash of salt (if you choose to add salt).
