Easy Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Printed from: www.grandmotherskitchen.net

Ingredients

Makes: Approximately 1 1/2 cups

1 cup good quality unsweetened natural cocoa powder

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup cold water

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Use a medium sized saucepan. Whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until well combined. Be sure to break up all the lumps in the cocoa powder.

2. Add the water and 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Turn the heat onto medium and bring to a boil.

3. Be sure to stay watching this and keep whisking to keep it from scorching.

4. Boil for 4 minutes, set a timer so you go long enough. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt. The mixture will thicken somewhat but still be fairly thin as it is cooking. As it cools it turns to a more syrup-like consistency.

5. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

ENJOY!
