Ingredients

• 0.75 cups cocoa powder
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light corn syrup
• 0.75 cups heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined and no lumps remain.

Step 2

Add the light corn syrup and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir the mixture gently until it is well incorporated.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continue stirring as you cook the mixture to a smooth consistency, ensuring no grains remain.

Step 4

Once the mixture starts to bubble around the edges, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is glossy.

Step 6

Let the sauce cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm, or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 7

Reheat in the microwave or over low heat on the stove before using if stored.
