Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups cocoa powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light corn syrup
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined and no lumps remain.
Add the light corn syrup and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir the mixture gently until it is well incorporated.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continue stirring as you cook the mixture to a smooth consistency, ensuring no grains remain.
Once the mixture starts to bubble around the edges, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is glossy.
Let the sauce cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm, or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Reheat in the microwave or over low heat on the stove before using if stored.
