Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces high-quality White Chocolate (Wafers or Finely Chopped Bar)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (35% Fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (Optional, highly recommended for gloss)
  • 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt (Crucial for balancing sweetness)

Instructions:

  1. If using a bar, finely chop the white chocolate. Pour the 1/2 cup of heavy cream into a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat over low-medium heat until the cream is just steaming around the edges. Do not let it boil. Remove immediately from the heat.
  2. Place the chopped white chocolate directly into the hot cream. Allow it to sit undisturbed for exactly 60 seconds. Using a rubber spatula or whisk, start mixing slowly in the center of the bowl, gradually working your way out. Continue mixing gently until the entire mixture is smooth, homogenous, and completely free of lumps. This should take under three minutes.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract, the optional tablespoon of butter, and the pinch of fine sea salt. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until the butter melts and the sauce achieves a mirror-like shine and perfect dipping consistency. Serve warm.
