I eat this with a spoon. So should you. —darksideofthespoon

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 cup finely chopped high quality dark chocolate
Directions
  1. Boil the cream, water, sugar, pinch of salt and sifted cocoa powder, whisking the whole time. Do not leave the mixture, it boils over very quickly.
  2. Add the chopped chocolate and whisk until melted.
  3. Pour into a container and cool in the fridge without a lid. It will be runny when hot but should become thick once cooled.
  4. Serve at room temperature or warm. This also makes a wicked chocolate milk!

Wonderfully delicious! Super easy! Makes a ton. I made Brown Butter Blondies and used this as a sauce for that and added vanilla Haagen Dazs. That was my dinner last night.

Thank you, thank you! Just what I was looking for to drizzle over Clafoutis aux Framboises (also on Food 52)!! And I took your advice to sample a few spoonfuls to make sure it was fabulous. The best!!

This was fantastic! I added a quarter teaspoon cinnamon, just because. We ate it with a spoon, as recommended, and also dipped fruit into it. Loved this! Thanks for posting!

We've had great success with this! It is truly dark and rich. And because it makes a gracious plenty, we like to give away for gifts and look like generous, selfless souls when there is actually still at least a cup in the fridge for our personal use. Thank you!
