Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt.
Step 2
Add the water to the saucepan and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, continuing to stir to ensure it doesn’t stick or burn. The sauce will thicken slightly as it simmers.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or fruits. Alternatively, allow it to cool completely, transfer it to an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 8
To reheat, warm the sauce in the microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.
