Equipment

• 1 Small saucepan or heatproof bowl
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Fine-mesh strainer

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 Oz Chocolate (dark or milk chocolate), finely chopped
• 1/2 Cup Heavy cream
• 1 Tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4-5 Springs Fresh mint
• 1 Tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

 

• Infuse Cream with Mint: In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer gently. Remove from heat and add mint sprigs. Let steep for 5-10 minutes to infuse the cream with mint flavor.
• Melt Chocolate:

  Stovetop: Place chopped chocolate and butter in a separate small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.

  Microwave: Combine chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
• Strain and Flavor: Remove mint sprigs from the cream using a spoon and discard. Slowly whisk the mint-infused cream into the melted chocolate. For a touch of added sweetness and flavor, whisk in vanilla extract.
• Serve Warm: Serve warm alongside your churros for a cool and refreshing dipping experience.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Pair with classic churros, citrus-infused churros, or even chocolate churros for a playful take on mint-chocolate flavors.

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:

• Mint Intensity: Adjust steeping time for a stronger or milder mint flavor.
• Chocolate Choice: Milk chocolate will have a sweeter base, while dark chocolate complements the mint beautifully.
• Sweetness: If the mint flavor is particularly strong, add a pinch of salt or a touch of sugar for sweetness balance.
