Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until combined.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream and stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, stirring until it melts completely and the sauce is glossy.
Step 5
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving warm over ice cream, cakes, or other desserts. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
