Ingredients

Directions

  1. Chop the milk chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts smoothly and quickly.
  2. Fill a small saucepan with an inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water, to create a double boiler.
  4. Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until completely melted and glossy.
  5. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly until it is tepid to the touch.
  6. Pour in the whipping cream and the hazelnut-flavored liqueur.
  7. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is fully combined, smooth, and silky.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, or let it cool to thicken slightly for a firmer dipping consistency.
