Directions
- 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the margarine and cocoa powder. Stir until they melt together into a smooth paste.
- 2
Gradually pour in the water in a thin stream, stirring constantly and vigorously to prevent lumps from forming.
- 3
Continue cooking over low heat, stirring non-stop, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- 4
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly — the sauce will thicken further as it cools. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a glossy finish, stir in half a teaspoon of corn syrup. Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days — reheat gently in a bain-marie or microwave with short bursts.
