Ingredients
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 170 g dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa solids)
- 40 ml dark rum
Method
Method
Prepare the chocolate.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl with the rum.
Heat the cream.
In a small saucepan (or microwave), gently heat the cream until it is almost boiling but not scalded.
Combine.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and rum. Allow to sit for 30 seconds to soften the chocolate.
Stir until smooth.
Using a whisk or spatula, stir slowly from the centre outward until the sauce is glossy and fully emulsified.
Serve warm.
Pour over ice cream, brownies, pancakes, or poached pears.
Chef’s Tip
For a silkier finish, blend with a stick blender for 20 seconds.
To make a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with strong espresso or orange juice.
Shelf Life & Storage
Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Reheat gently in a microwave or over simmering water before serving.
