Ingredients

  • 8 oz. chocolate dark, semi-sweet, or bittersweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • pinch salt
  • 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened

Instructions

  • Dice or chop chocolate if not using chocolate chips.
  • Combine chocolate, sugar, cream and hot water in the top of a double boiler.
  • Simmer on a medium low heat and stir until chocolate is smooth, about 5 minutes.

  • Chocolate sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to a week.
