Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Oz Chocolate (dark or milk chocolate), finely chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1-2 Tbsp Bourbon (adjust to your preference)
  • 1 Tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Melt Chocolate:
    Stovetop: Place chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
    Microwave: Combine chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • Whisk in Bourbon & Vanilla: Remove from heat. Whisk in bourbon and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Serve Warm: Serve warm alongside your churros for a sophisticated dipping sauce.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Pair with classic churros, vanilla bean churros, or even spice-focused churros, for a flavor contrast. Garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder.
Storage Guidance: Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Rewarm gently before serving.
Recipe Notes:
  • Chocolate Choice: Milk chocolate will have a sweeter base, while dark chocolate complements the bourbon notes.
  • Bourbon Amount: Adjust the amount of bourbon to your taste preference.
  • Alcohol Cooks Out: The alcohol will cook out as you melt the chocolate, leaving the warm bourbon flavor.
