    water: 159 ml, semi-sweet chocolate: 200 g

    The result is a homogeneous sauce. Place the saucepan in a bowl partly filled with ice cubes (or pour into another bowl over the ice - it will chill faster).

  3. 3
    Whisk the chocolate sauce, either manually with a whisk or with an electric mixer (if using an electric mixer, watch closely - it will thicken faster). Whisking creates large air bubbles in the sauce, which steadily thickens. After a while, strands of chocolate form inside the loops of the whisk.
  4. 4
    Pour or spoon immediately into ramekins, small bowls, or jars and let set. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Top with whipped cream , if desired.
