Ingredients

1/2 cups Cream
1 lbs Milk chocolate
3 Tablespoons Kirsch, Cointreau, or Brandy (optional)
8 oz Plain chocolate
3 Teaspoon instant coffee powder
5 Fl oz / 2/3 cup double cream
3 Tbsp Tia Maria

Directions

1
Chop the milk chocolate and plain chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
2
Place the chopped chocolate and instant coffee powder in a heatproof bowl.
3
In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream, double cream, and 1/2 cup of milk (if available, otherwise use more cream) over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer; do not let it boil vigorously.
4
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and coffee in the bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
5
Gently stir the mixture with a whisk or spatula, starting from the center and working outward, until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
6
Stir in the Kirsch, Cointreau, Brandy, or Tia Maria until fully incorporated.
7
Serve the chocolate cream warm over desserts, or let it cool to room temperature for a thicker consistency.
