Ingredients
- ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Place cocoa, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until the mixture is thick and the cocoa has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Pour into jar or covered container. Cool at room temperature, then cover and store in the refrigerator.
- Use on ice cream, in milk for hot chocolate or chocolate milk, or as a dip. Or eat with a spoon!
Notes
- This recipe originally called for 2/3 cup coffee creamer in place of the water and 1/2 cup agave or honey in place of the sugar. You can easily swap those ingredients.
- For a deep chocolate sauce, use dutch process cocoa
- Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- If the sauce is too thick out of the refrigerator, heat in microwave to thin.
