Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and water in a small saucepan, stirring until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom.

As soon as small bubbles appear, stir in the butter until fully melted — the sauce is ready.

Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for a thicker consistency.

Serve over ice cream, pancakes, bread, popcorn, or any dessert of your choice.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a pinch of salt or a drop of vanilla extract to deepen the chocolate flavor. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently if it becomes too thick.
