This glossy chocolate sauce comes together on the stovetop with just a few pantry staples, turning simple cream and chocolate into a smooth, pourable dip. Serve it warm alongside fruit, pretzels, marshmallows, or cookies for an easy dessert spread, or drizzle it over ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Measure the chocolate chips, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt into a heatproof bowl and set near the stove.

  2. Pour the heavy cream into a 6-quart saucepan and heat over medium until it just begins to simmer, with small bubbles forming around the edges.

  3. Remove the pan from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Let sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.

  4. Whisk the mixture from the center outward until completely smooth and glossy.

  5. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve warm with fruit, pretzels, or cookies for dipping.
