Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup whipping cream heavy or light
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup Bourbon

Instructions

  • Add water to a large pot until it is about halfway full and bring to a rolling boil. Add your cream to a large, heat-safe glass bowl (or a smaller pot) and place over the larger pot with boiling water. Heat cream over double boiler until it simmers and forms a thin film on top.
    ½ cup whipping cream
  • Remove cream from heat and add chocolate chips.
    ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • Whisk until chocolate chips completely melt from the heat of the cream to form a smooth chocolate sauce.
  • Add bourbon and continue to whisk until combined.
    ¼ cup Bourbon
  • Place the sauce in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill.
  • Use your hand mixer on high to whip sauce until desired consistency is reached. This may take up to 5 full minutes with your hand mixer on high. The longer you whip, the thicker your sauce will get.
  • Serve over ice cream, brownies, blondies, loaves, bread pudding and so much more!
