Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, granulated sugar, heavy cream, light corn syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
- Whisk the mixture until smooth and the chocolate is melted, keeping the heat moderate.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally, and allow it to boil for 3 minutes.

Notes
Stir constantly to prevent scorching. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For a silkier finish, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve.
