ingredients
3/4 cup light cream
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut small pieces
directions
In a medium-size saucepan, warm the cream and chocolate over very low heat, stirring occasionally to smooth. When the chocolate is completely melted, 5 or 6 minutes, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
Mix in any of the optional flavorings listed below, and serve. Store the sauce in a clean, tightly covered jar. Reheat the sauce right in the jar, in a saucepan of hot water, with the lid loosened. Refrigerated, this will last for at least 2 weeks.
VARIATIONS: Chocolate Mint Sauce -- Whisk 2 tablespoons white creme de menthe into the sauce with the butter.
Mocha Sauce -- Heat the cream first, whisking in 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder. Add the chocolate and proceed as above. When the sauce comes off the heat, whisk in the butter and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur.

Very easy to make. I used it with strawberries and ice cream and the family loved it. I used dark chocolate.

I had a hard time finding a chocolate sauce that didn't call for sweetened condensed milk so I was happy to find this one. I used lactose free milk instead of the cream and it still turned out good, even if it is a little runny. I will definately make this again!
