Ingredients
1 CupCocoa PowderI prefer dutch processed for this recipe
1 1/2CupWater
1 1/2 CupBrown Sugar
1PinchSaltLess 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.
