Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid and bubbly.
Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt to the melted butter. Whisk continuously to combine into a smooth mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to ensure the chocolate does not burn or stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
Cook the sauce for about 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly. The sauce should lightly coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate, and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or pancakes, or store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
