Prep Time:5 minutes
Total Time:5 minutes
Servings: 14 (2 tablespoons per serving, 1 3/4 cups total)
 
Calories: 64kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • In a cold saucepan, whisk together the cocoa and the sugar until all lumps are removed. Add the salt and the water and bring to a boil over medium-medium high heat. 
  • Reduce to a gentle simmer; stirring constantly. Simmer for about 30 seconds and then remove from heat. Let cool and then add in the vanilla.
  • Pour into a glass jar and allow to cool. {The chocolate sauce will be very thin when it finishes boiling, but it will thicken quite a bit as it cools.}
  • Refrigerate until needed.

Notes

  • Any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Simply reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
  • If you use chocolate sauce a lot, this recipe can easily be doubled.
