Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well until there are no lumps.
- Slowly stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking constantly to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, still stirring occasionally. You want to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the butter and continue to stir until it’s melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, as it will thicken as it cools.
