Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt to break up any lumps and evenly combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the whole milk and light corn syrup to the saucepan. Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture while stirring constantly. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Let the chocolate sauce cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over ice cream, or transfer to a heatproof container and refrigerate for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or over low heat, adding a splash of milk if necessary to adjust the consistency.
