In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and water. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Allow the chocolate sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
