Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Oz Chocolate (dark or milk chocolate), finely chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1-2 Tsp Instant espresso powder (adjust to desired coffee strength)
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

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.
  • Dissolve Coffee and Flavor: Remove from heat. Whisk in instant espresso powder until completely dissolved. Add vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of salt.
  • Serve Warm: Serve warm alongside your churros for a delightful coffee-infused dipping experience.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Pair with classic churros, cinnamon-sugar churros, or even chocolate variations for a mocha overload.
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:
  • Coffee Strength: Adjust the amount of espresso powder to achieve your desired coffee flavor intensity.
  • Brewed Coffee: Substitute the instant espresso with a similar volume of very strong brewed coffee.
  • Chocolate Choice: Milk chocolate will have a sweeter base, while dark chocolate complements the coffee flavor.
