Coffee and Chocolate Sauce

This rich and decadent coffee and chocolate sauce is perfect for drizzling over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or even cakes. The combination of coffee and chocolate gives it a deep, flavorful kick that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients (Makes about 1 cup):

  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (preferably freshly brewed)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Brew the Coffee:

    • Brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee and set aside.

  2. Heat the Cream and Sugar:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, and the cream is warmed through.

  3. Add Coffee and Chocolate:

    • Once the cream is warm, pour in the brewed coffee and stir well.
    • Add the dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) to the mixture, and continue to stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. Add Vanilla and Salt:

    • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

  5. Simmer:

    • Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes on low heat to thicken slightly, stirring frequently.

  6. Serve:

    • Pour the sauce over your favorite desserts or store in a jar to use later.

Tips:

  • For a Lighter Version: Use milk instead of heavy cream for a less rich, but still delicious sauce.
  • For Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of liqueur (like KahlĂșa) to the sauce for a deeper, more complex flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat before using.

Enjoy this Coffee and Chocolate Sauce as a delightful topping or dipping sauce for your favorite treats! ☕đŸ«
