Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk together to break up any lumps in the cocoa.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula as the mixture begins to heat up.
Step 4
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Allow the fudge topping to cool slightly before using. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
