Vodka-Spiced Chocolate Sauce
With a handful of ingredients, this is dessert in a jar. Everything else may as well be a garnish and will probably take you longer to prepare than this luxuriously decadent chocolate sauce does. The spicy chili bite at the finish gives it a grown-up taste that is simply irresistible! This recipe features Iceberg Vodka as the main ingredientIngredients
Serves 2 cups (500ml)
1 cup (250 ml) dark chocolate chips
3 tbsp (45 ml) Iceberg Vodka
1/8 tsp (a pinch) table salt
1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
½ tsp (2.5 ml) red pepper chili flakes, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium heatproof, non-reactive bowl, combine chocolate chips, vodka and salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream and chili flakes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Using a strainer, strain pepper-infused cream over chocolate chips. Cover with a small plate or plastic wrap and allow chocolate chips to melt slightly for 2 minutes. Using a heatproof spoon or spatula, mix until chocolate is fully melted. Can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week; it will thicken as it cools. For a runnier consistency, place container in warm water to melt slightly, then stir and use as desired. Garnish with chili flakes and serve with fruit, ice cream, cake or anything else you can imagine!
