Ingredients

  • 23 cup heavy cream
  • 12 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate or 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped fine
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 12 teaspoons vanilla
  • 18 teaspoon salt

Method

  • In a small saucepan heat heavy cream and sugar over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves; add chocolate, butter and corn syrup and continue to cook, stirring, just until smooth; bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and boil 8 minutes; remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
  • Can be kept for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator, just make sure it has cooled completely before covering as any condensation will make it grainy; reheat sauce, uncovered, over simmering water in a double-boiler.
  • Serve sauce hot over ice cream.
