Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate baking squares
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt together the chocolate, butter, and sugar, stirring constantly until smooth.
  2. Stir in the milk and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour into mason jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  5. To reheat: microwave sauce in a glass container for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until warm and pourable, then spoon over ice cream, cake, or cookies.

Notes

- For the silkiest sauce, ensure your heat is truly low during the initial melting phase. If the chocolate seizes, gradually whisk in a tablespoon of hot milk until smooth.
- To store, pour the cooled sauce into clean, airtight jars. It keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- When reheating, avoid high heat to prevent scorching. Microwave in short bursts, stirring well between each, or gently warm in a double boiler.
