Ingredients
  • 2 ounces chocolate (note says 'I use semi-sweet but you can use unsweetened')
  • 1 TBSP unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup light cream +/- depending upon consistency desired
  • pinch of salt
Instructions

  1. Melt first two ingredients in a double boiler.  (see note)

  2. Remove from heat.  Add sugar, cream, and salt

  3. Stir until sugar is dissolved.  If you need it to thicken a bit as I did, I put it back on the boiler pan and stirred a bit more.  

  4. Keep warm on low stove if serving immediately.

Recipe Notes
  •  If you don't have a double boiler, you can make one by using a small sauce pan filled with a few inches of water and place a pyrex bowl (heat safe) in pan.  On low/medium heat, the water will steam and melt the chocolate gently without burning. chose to use unsweetened chocolate
  • I used 3/4 c. sugar for less sweetness
  • as shown, a bit less than 2/3 c. light cream, put back on the heat to thicken then removed from heat to thicken further
  • May store in airtight container in refrigerator for later use.  Reheat in saucepan on low when ready to serve.  No need to use double boiler for reheating, just keep heat low so sauce does not burn.
