Equipment
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium-low until warm but not boiling.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the Guittard chocolate chips and stir continuously until smooth and fully melted. The sauce will thicken as the chocolate blends in.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the butter and salt until melted and glossy.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let sit a minute to thicken slightly.
- Serve warm over desserts, or cool and store in a jar in the fridge for up to 10 days. Reheat gently before using.
