It's just as tasty without booze but only as good as the chocolate you use, so shop accordingly.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (about 70% cacao), chopped
1/4 cup bourbon, whiskey, or rum
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer until it begins to thicken, 10 to 12 minutes. Add chocolate, bourbon, and salt and return to a simmer, whisking. Cook, whisking, until sauce is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Let cool slightly before serving.
