Directions
- 1
Combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, butter and sugar in a small saucepan.
- 2
Heat over low heat, stirring continuously, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.
- 3
Remove from heat as soon as the sauce is smooth and just steaming — do not let it boil, to preserve its silky texture.
- 4
Serve warm over ice cream, cake or brownies, or enjoy by the spoonful for an instant treat.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a richer chocolate flavor, swap half the sweetened cocoa for unsweetened cocoa powder. Keeps refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 3 days — gently reheat before serving.
