Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 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.
