Ingredients

4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 cup Granulated sugar
0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
0.5 cup Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid and bubbly.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt to the melted butter. Whisk continuously to combine into a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to ensure the chocolate does not burn or stick to the bottom of the saucepan.

Step 4

Cook the sauce for about 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly. The sauce should lightly coat the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate, and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 6

Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or pancakes, or store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
