👍 Amira's Tips

• This sauce will be thin while it's still hot, however it will thicken as it cools down.
• Make sure that you stir the sauce constantly while it's cooking, as chocolate can stick to the pan and scorch quickly.
• A light boil means small bubbles will break the surface of the liquid. This is not a full rolling boil.

🧺 Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one month. I like to store it mason jar, I find it works best to keep it fresh.

⌛ Make Ahead
