Ingredients

1 cup cream 230 grams
7 ounces dark chocolate 200 grams, finely chopped (use 55% to 70% chocolate)

Optional Flavoring

2 tablespoons Brandy Cognac or your choice of alcoholic spirits

Instructions

Place the cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until just barely simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the brandy or cognac, if using.

Notes

This sauce will firm up to a thick truffle-like consistency when it is cooled, just zap it in the microwave for a few seconds to reach a pourable consistency.
