Directions
- 1
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk and sifted cocoa powder. Whisk together off the heat until fully blended and lump-free.
- 2
Place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until the mixture just begins to bubble. Do not let it reach a rolling boil.
- 3
Remove from heat immediately. Pour in the heavy cream and add the sea salt, then stir vigorously until the sauce is smooth, glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
- 4
Transfer to a heatproof bowl, press cling film directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra depth, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract along with the cream. The sauce keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days and can be gently rewarmed over a bain-marie.
