12 oz 70% dark chocolate

1 tsp espresso powder

1 cup heavy cream

3 tbsp red wine - such as (port, chianti, merlot)

1/2 cup cocoa powder

garnish with sea salt or dried edible rose petals

02) Mix in the espresso powder. Stir the chocolate occasionally til almost fully melted. Take off the heat when there are no large chocolate pieces.

03) Mix in the red win and mix to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap letting it touch the top of the chocolate so it does not create a skin
