Ingredients

  • 12 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Heat half-and-half and sugar together in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add chocolates and butter and whisk until smooth. Set aside to let cool briefly.
