Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup light agave nectar
- ½ cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons salted butter or unsalted butter + a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add agave nectar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cocoa powder and dark brown sugar.
- Turn heat to medium-high. While stirring often, bring mixture to a simmer and then a boil. The mixture will rise in the pot, as if it was about to boil over. Once the sauce rises to a rapid boil, immediately turn heat down to the lowest setting.
- The bubbles will subside. Add chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Turn heat off and serve! You’ll notice the fudge thickens more and more as it cools.
