Smoked Chocolate Sauce 101
- First and foremost, smoked chocolate sauce is quick-cooking.
- It is best to generate good smoke production going before putting the pan in your smoker or pellet grill.
- Choose a milder wood like alder, apple, or cherry for this sauce. More robust flavored woods could leave a bitter overpowering after-taste that might cash with delicate dessert items.
- Use semi-sweet chocolate for best results.
- For added depth, stir in cinnamon and a pinch and two of cayenne pepper right before taking it off the heat!
Ingredients
- Heavy cream
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips (you can also use dark chocolate chips for this chocolate sauce recipe)
- Cinnamon
- Medium cast iron skillet
- Wood chips
- Cayenne (optional)
How to Make it
- Set up for indirect cooking. Prepare your smoker or charcoal grill for a medium temperature of 350 degrees F. If using a pellet grill, set temp for 350.
- Add wood chips a few minutes right before you smoke the chocolate sauce.
- Pour cream and chocolate chips into a cast-iron skillet, stir, place into smoker or grill. Close lid and smoke for 15-20 minutes, depending on the depth of smoke you desire.
- After 8-10 minutes, check on it and give it a good stir.
- Remove pan from the smoker (or grill) and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Keep in mind that most of the smoke will be absorbed within the first 15 minutes of cooking.
- Use as desired—store the unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days after preparation.
