Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set up a double boiler by placing the top pan over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the top pan.
  2. Add the semisweet chocolate squares and bitter chocolate squares to the top of the double boiler.
  3. Heat the chocolate gently, stirring occasionally, until it is almost completely melted.
  4. Add the heavy cream, butter, strong coffee, and sugar to the chocolate mixture.
  5. Continue heating and stirring constantly until the butter and sugar are fully dissolved and the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Remove the mixture from the heat. If using olive oil, stir it in now, though it is optional and may alter the flavor profile.
  7. Stir the sauce vigorously until it is well-blended and glossy.
  8. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving warm over desserts, fruit, or ice cream.
