Stovetop Chocolate Sauce
Thick, glossy, and intensely rich, this four-ingredient chocolate sauce transforms ordinary desserts into something special. Melting unsweetened baking chocolate into corn syrup creates a beautifully smooth texture that won't seize up when it hits cold ice cream. A touch of butter and vanilla rounds out the deep cocoa flavor. You'll want to drizzle it warm over pound cake, fresh fruit, or your favorite sundae.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups light corn syrup
- 3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- 1Combine the light corn syrup and chopped unsweetened baking chocolate in a small saucepan. Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently so the chocolate doesn't scorch. Once it melts completely, take the pan off the burner.
- 2Stir the softened butter and vanilla into the warm chocolate mixture until smooth.
Notes
- Serving: Enjoy the sauce warm right out of the pan, or let it cool to room temperature.
- Storage: Keep any leftover sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- Reheat: Warm chilled sauce gently on the stove or in short bursts in the microwave to restore its pourable consistency.
