Equipment
- Medium Saucepan with Heavy Base
- Digital Thermometer Optional but Recommended
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons salted butter at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Add the brown sugar, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, cream and light corn syrup to a medium saucepan with a thick bottom.
- Warm the mixture over a medium heat, whisking occasionally as the chocolate melts.
- Bring it to a gentle boil and boil for 3 minutes, stirring often, until thick and smooth.
- If you have a thermometer, check it’s reached 200°F.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the salt and butter, plus the vanilla extract if using.
- Mix until the butter has completely melted and mixed with the chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.
- Serve hot, over waffles, ice cream, brownies or your preferred dessert.
Notes
- Measure the cocoa level: Extra cocoa can make the sauce too thick and give it a bitter edge.
- Scrape the pan corners: Cocoa powder and brown sugar can clump where the whisk misses, so use a wooden spoon too.
- Use a big enough pan: The sauce bubbles as it boils and needs space.
