Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the light corn syrup and milk to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and begin cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the sauce for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from scorching. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract until blended. Let the sauce cool slightly to thicken further.
Step 7
Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, or any dessert of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
