Description
This luxurious chocolate dip combines the rich flavors of semi-sweet chocolate and espresso.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate bar (chopped)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ Tablespoon espresso powder
Instructions
- Place chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a heat-proof glass or metal bowl. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together cream and espresso powder. Bring just to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- Pour over the chocolate and let it sit for 3-5 minutes without stirring.
- Use a spoon or spatula to stir the mixture. The chocolate will melt as you continue to stir and will thicken while becoming shiny, smooth, and dark in color. It will likely take several minutes to reach this point, just keep going until it is fully combined and luxurious!
- Enjoy immediately as a dip or drizzle onto baked goods. The dip can sit at room temperature for about 2 hours before it is completely cooled and becomes too thick to dip. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, reheating in a double boiler as needed.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality chocolate.
- This dip can be served warm or at room temperature.
