Dark chocolate sauce is the perfect touch for those who love the intense, deep flavor of chocolate. Unlike a thicker sauce, this sauce is light, fluid, and perfect for drizzling over ice cream. It adds a delicious contrast, especially when paired with fruity or creamy ice creams. Here's how to make it quickly!
Ingredients :
- 100g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more for an intense taste)
- 150 ml of water
- 50 g of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor)
Preparation :
- Melt the chocolate.
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat with the water. Stir gently so that the chocolate dissolves completely. You will obtain a liquid, chocolatey base. - Add the sugar.
Once the chocolate has melted, add the sugar and continue stirring. If you prefer a slightly less sweet sauce, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 30 or 40 g. Let it cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. - Add the cocoa (optional).
To further intensify the chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This will make your coulis even richer and more complex. Mix well to avoid lumps. - Let it cool.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let your coulis cool slightly before serving it over your ice cream. It will thicken a little as it cools, but it will remain fluid and easy to pour. - Store your sauce.
You can store this dark chocolate sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. Before using it again, gently warm it in a double boiler or microwave to restore its fluid consistency.
