Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1/4 cup (80 g) light corn syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 cup (250 ml) water
  • 2 ounces (60 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Method

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, corn syrup or agave nectar, and water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally to break up any lumps of cocoa.
  • Once it reaches a full boil, remove from the heat.
  • Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Serve the sauce warm.
  • This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Rewarm before serving.
  • The sauce is even better made a few hours or a day ahead of serving to allow the cocoa to thicken it properly.
