IMPORTANT: For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided, as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

Ingredients
 

  • 1¼ cups (212 g) semi-sweet chocolate - roughly chopped. I use 50% dark chocolate. I recommend using a good quality chocolate block.
  • ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder - I use Dutch processed
  • ½ cup (100 g) white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (160 g) light corn syrup
  • 1 cup (240 g) heavy cream
  • ⅛ tsp salt - omit if using salted butter
  • ¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter - cold and cubed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract/essence

Instructions

  • Add the chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, cream, milk, and salt to a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
  • Let the sauce simmer for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the cold, cubed butter and vanilla until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Use warm, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, warm gently over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
