🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the milk, margarine, sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan.

  2. 2

    Whisk all ingredients together until well blended with no lumps remaining.

  3. 3

    Place over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble and thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then pour over your dessert while still warm.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a richer depth of flavor, substitute half the cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate. Pour while warm for a smooth, shiny finish that sets beautifully.
