Earl Grey Fudge Sauce
- 40 g water (3 tablespoons)
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 30 g 72% chocolate, chopped (1 ounce)
- 18 g cocoa powder, preferably Valrhona (2 tablespoons)
- 0.5 g kosher salt (1/8 teaspoon)
- 100 g glucose (1/4 cup)
- 25 g sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 55 g heavy cream (1/4 cup)
- Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan or in a tea cup in the microwave.
- Remove from heat, add the tea, and let steep for 4 minutes.
- Wring and remove the tea bag and pour the tea into a medium bowl.
- Add the chocolate, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Combine the glucose, sugar, and heavy cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir intermittently while bringing to a boil over high heat.
- The moment it boils, pour it into the bowl holding the chocolate.
- Let sit for 1 full minute.
- Slowly, slowly begin to whisk the mixture.
- Then continue, increasing the vigor of your whisking every 30 seconds, until the mixture is glossy and silky-smooth.
- This will take 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your speed and strength.
- You can use the sauce at this point or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks; do not freeze.
- In a pinch, substitute 35 g (2 tablespoons) corn syrup for the glucose.
