Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the heavy cream into a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Add the packed dark brown sugar to the cream.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and continue to whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat.
  6. Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate to the hot cream mixture.
  7. Whisk vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  8. Continue whisking until the sauce is glossy, smooth, and uniform in color.
  9. Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before serving; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
