Bette's Chocolate Kahlua Sauce

By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 5 ounces half-and-half
• 3/4 to 1 cup sugar (see Note)
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (see Note)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Kahlua

Preparation

Step 1

Place the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring to melt. Add the half-and half and sugar, and continue to cook over low, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 2 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate until melted. Stir in the Kahlua. Let cool slightly and pour into two 8-ounce jars. Or spoon at once over ice cream.

Note: Bette's recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, but I prefer a less sweet sauce and use ¾ cup. You can easily double this recipe. I have doubled it and used just 1 cup sugar for the doubled recipe but used 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate and 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate. You can omit the Kahlua entirely and use a teaspoon vanilla instead. Or, for a treat, use Bourbon.
