Directions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and water. Whisk together until smooth with no lumps.
- 2
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or whisk to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom.
- 3
Once the mixture starts to simmer, keep stirring for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat, stir in the pinch of salt to deepen the chocolate flavor, then let cool before refrigerating. Serve chilled over your favorite ice cream.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an even silkier finish, stir in a small pat of butter off the heat. Keeps refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 5 days.
