Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to eliminate any lumps.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.

Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
