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.

To make this recipe, you will need -

• A small saucepan for heating the cream and melting the white chocolate.
