Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder natural or Dutch-process
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped 60% to 70% cacao
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt plus more for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, light corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and flaky sea salt.
- Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle bubble, whisking often until smooth and the sugar dissolves, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter. Let sit 30 seconds, then whisk until fully melted and silky.
- Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Taste and adjust salt to preference.
- Serve warm over ice cream or desserts. Sprinkle with a pinch of additional flaky sea salt before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks; rewarm gently.
Notes
For a glossier finish, add 0.5 teaspoon espresso powder with the cocoa to boost chocolate flavor. If the sauce thickens too much after chilling, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons warm cream while reheating.
