The recipe for one of my favourite chocolates. It’s ridiculously easy to make.
160 g chocolate (5.6 oz)
50 g butter (1.8 oz)
2 tbs honey
The chocolate should be of high quality and with 70% of cocoa. Depending on what honey you use the chocolate will get flavoured. Acacia honey is a delicate honey that just gives a sweet hint and leaves the rest to the chocolate…
Have all the ingredients in a pan and melt over very low heat. The best thing to do is to use a water bath. The chocolate can be destroyed in too high temperatures.
When melted this is a wonderful sauce for ice cream.
Pour the chocolate into moulds or in a slightly soft plastic box. Put in the refrigerator. When cold you can cut it in small shapes or remove from the moulds.
For the observant reader. In the picture at the top of this post there is no honey in the pan. I used 2 tbs of my own home made vanilla sugar. That’s another story and I guess I’ll have to be back with the recipe for that one as well…
Hi,
thanks for a funny tip on chocolate sauce, I assume you should preferably use unsalted butter whenever possible?
Best regards

Well, the sauce is a bit special. On icecream it turns into a hard chocolate cover. Actually very good.
Preferably usalted butter, but works fine with salted butter as well.
