🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 7 tablespoons sweetened cocoa powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan.

  2. 2

    Whisk everything together until smooth, then place over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Stir constantly with a spatula — the mixture may look thin at first, but don't worry, it will thicken beautifully.

  4. 4

    Once it reaches a gentle boil, keep stirring for another 5 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes, then drizzle over your favorite dessert.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a deeper chocolate flavor, swap the sweetened cocoa for unsweetened cocoa powder and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.
