Bon Appétit, August 2007



List of Ingredients



• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  
• ¼ cup coarsely ground coffee beans
  
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
  
• 1 cup light corn syrup
  
• ¼ cup water
  
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
  
• ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, diced
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  






Instructions



1. Sift cocoa into medium bowl.
   Bring cream and ground coffee to boil in heavy small saucepan, stirring to blend. Remove from heat; cover and steep 10 minutes. Strain cream through fine sieve into another bowl, pressing on coffee grounds to release as much cream as possible.
   
   
2. Bring sugar, corn syrup, ¼ cup water, and coffee-flavored cream to boil in medium saucepan, whisking until sugar dissolves. Boil 1 minute, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Remove from heat.
   
   
3. Whisk in chocolate, butter and vanilla. Pour one-quarter of chocolate mixture into cocoa to moisten, then add remaining chocolate mixture, whisking until sauce is smooth and shiny.
   
   Makes about 3¼ cups.
