Chocolate sauce

I use this recipe for the Profiteroles au chocolat, but it is also very good on vanilla ice cream alone!!! I usually make more than I need and freeze the rest. To use, simply scoop it out of the container and heat for a few seconds in the microwave.

Chocolate sauce

Makes about 2 cups

8 oz dark chocolate, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 Tbsp butter

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan. When hot, pour over the chocolate and let stand for a few minutes. Mix gently to combine. Add the butter and mix again. If too thick, you can add more cream.

The sauce is ready to use.

You can also flavor it with a liquor of your choice, or coffee, vanilla...
