Servings: 10 people
Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
- 150 g double cream
- 150 g 70% dark chocolate
- 50 g coconut oil
- 3 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan, followed by the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat over a low heat until the cream is just hot enough to the touch. The chocolate will have started to melt but still be in little lumps.
- Take off the heat and stir vigorously until all the chocolate has melted.
- Serve immediately over ice cream.
Notes
- Use the best quality chocolate you can. I use Callebaut 70% Chocolate which is delicious.
- The salt used here is kosher salt which isn't as harsh tasting as table salt. Use sea salt if you can't find it.
- The cream is added first so the chocolate isn’t resting on the bottom of the saucepan.
- The heat should be set low.
- Stir the sauce continually.
- Remove the sauce from the heat before the chocolate has completely melted, keep stirring off the heat until the sauce is thick smooth and glossy.
Ingredient measurements
- Please note when you see ‘grams’ listed as opposed to ‘millilitres,’ or any other term of measurement, that is not incorrect. I weigh all of my ingredients, including liquids, for accuracy.
