Instructions: MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS LACTO

Be sure to use a dark chocolate for this rich, sweet and deeply satisfying sauce. Milk chocolate will not yield a good result.

In top of double boiler set over simmering water, combine chocolate and half-and-half. Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over ice cream or cake.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Reheat in saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Add a little more half-and-half if mixture is too thick.
