Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 ounces dark chocolate (finely chopped or chips)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until evenly combined.

Step 2

Add the heavy cream and butter to the saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugars dissolve and the mixture heats through. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to bubble gently around the edges, reduce the heat to low and stir in the dark chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Let the fudge sauce cool slightly before serving warm. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 6

Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
