Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and beginning to bubble slightly.
Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and no lumps remain.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir to combine and ensure the sugars are dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning, and then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
Allow the sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
