Tips:
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh, heavy cream for the richest and creamiest sauce.
- Temperature Control: Keep an eye on the temperature of your sauce. Overheating can cause the sugar to crystallize and the sauce to seize.
- Whisk Constantly: Whisking constantly helps to prevent the sauce from curdling and ensures a smooth, velvety texture.
- Use a Heavy Saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Add Chocolate Chips Gradually: Add the chocolate chips to the sauce gradually, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
