Makes 4 cups; 32 servings (serving size: 2 tbsp.)
Prep and Cook Time: 35 minutes.

Ground pine nuts lend a buttery flavor and pleasing texture.

Notes: Pi�on nuts, grown in the Southwest's high desert, are the intensely flavored cousins of the more common Italian pine nut. Either variety works well here. You can make the sauce up to 1 week ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container, then gently rewarm over medium-low heat.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups shelled pi�on or pine nuts (see Notes)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation:
1. Pulse nuts in a food processor until coarsely ground (the texture of couscous).

2. Sift sugar, cocoa, and salt into a medium saucepan. Add 3/4 cup warm water and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until smooth.

3. Add cream, corn syrup, vinegar, and chocolate chips. Raise heat to medium-high and boil mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, swirling occasionally, until slightly reduced (mixture will be thin and sticky); remove from heat. Stir in unsweetened chocolate, butter, vanilla, and pine nuts. Serve warm.
