Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder in a small saucepan to break up any clumps.
  • Add the water and stir until smooth.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture just begins to boil and the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Let it cool slightly before using.

Notes

  • The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. 
  • Stir before using if the cocoa powder happens to settle.
