Ingredients

  • 1 (12oz) (354ml) can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
  • 2 cups (360g) bittersweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (110g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan combine the milk, chocolate chips, and sugar. Cook over medium to medium-low heat stirring constantly. Once it comes to a simmer, remove from heat.
  • Stir in butter, vanilla, and salt. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. (I have stored it for 6 weeks with no issues). Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
