Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place both chocolates in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
-
Step 2.
In a heavy-bottomed small pot over medium heat, add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally.
-
Step 3.
Remove the pot from the heat and pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate in the bowl. Let it stand without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, until the chocolate has melted.
-
Step 4.
Whisk the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, until glossy and smooth.
-
Step 5.
Add the banana liqueur, finely grated lime zest, and kosher salt, and whisk to incorporate. Serve the sauce hot or at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. To reheat, gently warm in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot, or cover and microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each round.
