Calories: 212kcal
Ingredients
- 75 g Dark chocolate around 70% cocoa solids
- 225 ml Double cream
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl with the cream.
- Set the bowl over a saucepan holding an inch of barely simmering water (making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water). Stir frequently as the cream heats up and the chocolate melts.
- Once the chocolate has fully melted use a baloon whisk to beat the sauce until smooth then add the maple syrup and stir it in.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover the surface with foodwrap (to stop a skin forming) and let cool for several hours. It will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Once cooled this chocolate dipping sauce for marshmallows should be eaten within a few hours or stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If stored in the fridge you will need to let it sit at room temperature for several hours before serving to ensure it is soft enough to dip. If you are in a hurry, microwave the sauce on defrost in 10 second bursts, stirring between each one, until it loosens again.
- You can also freeze this chocolate dip for several months. You will need to let it defrost fully and give it a good stir before serving. The texture may not be quite as smooth, but it's better than wasting it.
- Sieve your sauce: If your chocolate did not fully melt and you have tiny grains visible in your sauce, pass it through a fine meshed sieve.
- Adjust the sweetness: Add more or less maple syrup to suit your tastes.
Make it in a microwave:
Place the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium in 30 second bursts, stirring well between each one. Repeat until the chocolate has melted and the sauce looks smooth. Stir in the maple syrup.Nutrition
