Lush Chocolate Sauce

This may be served as hot fudge or cooled to room temperature until it has the consistency of sour cream. It will not harden if poured over ice cream. It will keep in the refrigerator for many weeks, or at cool room temperature for a couple of days. It may also be frozen.

8 (1 ounce) squares chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Chop chocolate evenly. In saucepan, heat half the cream with the sugar until it boils. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until it melts and mixture is smooth. Add remaining cream and stir patiently until thick and smooth.

Yields 2 cups.
