Ingredients

  • 150 g double cream
  • 150 g 70% dark chocolate chips
  • 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

  • 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.
