In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch until evenly combined with no dry clumps.

Gradually pour in the cold milk while whisking constantly to dissolve the dry ingredients and prevent lumps.
- 3
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a spatula, until the sauce thickens to a pourable consistency, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in the butter until fully melted and the sauce turns glossy and smooth. Serve warm over your favorite dessert.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra depth. Leftover sauce keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days — reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk.
