Instructions

In an effort to make clean up easier, use a OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Scale to weigh the ingredients vs measure them with liquid and dry measuring cups or more dishes to wash. Place a medium size pot onto a food scale, turning the scale on and making sure the weight of the pot is tared out or set to zero. Weigh the whipping cream, corn syrup and oatmeal stout beer, resetting the tare each time with each ingredient.
Add in the chocolate by weight.
Place the pot over medium low heat and let the chocolate melt, infusing into the cream, beer and syrup. Stir frequently, until the ingredients meld together into a rich chocolaty sauce.
Taste the chocolate sauce, then add 2 – 3 teaspoons of Nor Cal Mole Hot Sauce to your taste. More can be used. Mix well and use the Nor Cal Mole Chocolate Sauce is ready to use.
If making in advance, transfer the sauce to a pint canning jar and seal with its lid. Place into the refrigerator for up to a week, if it lasts that long. To reheat the sauce, one can place the uncapped jar into a pot filled with warm water, creating a water bath, with the heat set to low. After 10 minutes the sauce will be melted and perfect pouring temperature. Alternatively, the sauce may be microwaved on high for one minute. Stir well before serving.
