Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Cocoa Powder I prefer dutch processed for this recipe
  • 1 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Pinch Salt Less than 1/8 tsp, can adjust to taste.

Instructions

  • Add cocoa powder and brown sugar to a saucepan and whisk to smooth out any lumps in the sugar. 
  • Add the water and salt and place over medium heat. Stir to incorporate the water into the sugar/cocoa mixture. Use a rubber spatula if necessary to get any dry clumps from the edges of pan. 
  • Heat, whisking frequently until begins to bubble. Continue to stir until thickened. The sauce is ready when it coats a spoon and holds, or when you can see the bottom of the pan when running a spoon across it. 
  • Remove from heat. Allow to cool until warm to touch.
  • Pour into glass jar or container of choice, cover tightly and store in fridge. 

Notes

*Your homemade chocolate sauce will thicken in the fridge, be sure to stir it before using. 
*If you want a more fudge like sauce, reduce the amount of water to be equal with the cocoa powder.
