Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, whisk in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Slowly add the heavy cream and light corn syrup, whisking constantly to incorporate.
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it just starts to bubble around the edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let it come to a full boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a small splash of cream if necessary to loosen the consistency.
