Chocolate sauce is a timeless classic that adds a touch of indulgence and comfort to any ice cream. Whether you use it as a topping on vanilla, strawberry, or even chocolate ice cream (yes, chocolate on chocolate is always a good idea!), this sauce will take your dessert to the next level. The best part? It's incredibly easy to make and you can prepare it in just a few minutes.
Ingredients :
- 100g of dark chocolate (50% cocoa for an intense flavor)
- 150 ml of full liquid cream
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, according to your taste)
- 1 tablespoon of butter (for a nice shiny texture)
Preparation :
- Heat the cream.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. When small bubbles begin to appear around the edges (without the cream boiling), remove the saucepan from the heat. - Add the chocolate.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add it to the warm cream. Let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes so the chocolate begins to melt, then gently stir until you have a smooth, glossy sauce. - Add the butter and sugar.
Incorporate the butter into the sauce for an even smoother and shinier texture. If you prefer a slightly sweeter chocolate sauce, now's the time to add the tablespoon of sugar. Mix well until everything is fully combined. - Let
it cool slightly before pouring it over your ice cream. The sauce will thicken a little as it cools, but it should remain fluid enough to easily coat your desserts. - Store the sauce:
If you're not using it right away, you can store this chocolate sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. Simply reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave or over a double boiler to restore its consistency.
