David says about the Rich Chocolate Sauce, "For those who like their chocolate sauce rich and thick. It is particularly appealing when served side by side or gently swirled with White Chocolate Sauce (below) as an accompaniment to wedges of chocolate cake."

White Chocolate Sauce
About the White Chocolate Sauce, David says, "I fall into the camp of white chocolate lovers because, unlike white chocolate critics, I don't compare it to dark chocolate. Instead, I appreciate it for its own lavishly rich merits...Be sure to use real white chocolate, one which lists only cocoa butter in the list of ingredients, and no other vegetable fats. Since white chocolate plays such an important part in this sauce, you want it to be as good as it possibly can be."
Ingredients
1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
9 ounces white chocolate chopped
In a small saucepan, warm the cream or half-and-half over low heat. When it just begins to boil, remove from the heat and add the white chocolate. Let it stand for 1 minute, then whisk until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth. Serve the sauce warm.
