🥘 Ingredients In This Recipe

The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.

You will need the following to make this recipe: 

White chocolate - you can use white chocolate chips or chop up a block of white chocolate. 

Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. Also, some cheaper brands of white chocolate won't melt into a smooth liquid state but will instead melt into an almost unmixable mass.

Heavy cream - when mixed with melted chocolate, it makes a smooth and creamy sauce.

Butter - will give an added richness and flavor to the sauce. We used salted butter, but you could also use unsalted butter.

🍽 Equipment

To make this recipe, you will need -

• A small saucepan for heating the cream and melting the white chocolate.
• A large metal spoon or heat-resistant spatula for stirring.

• Warm it in the microwave oven in 20-second increments stirring in between until warm and smooth, or 
• Gently heat it in a saucepan while stirring until it becomes warm and smooth.
