Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter
0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.75 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
0.5 cup heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
0.25 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and beginning to bubble slightly.

Step 2

Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir to combine and ensure the sugars are dissolved.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning, and then reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
