Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the water to the saucepan, whisking constantly to form a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over ice cream, cake, pancakes, or fruit, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
