How to Make Death By Chocolate Copycat Dark Chocolate Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and ¾ cup granulated sugar until completely combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of boiling water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with ½ cup and add more as needed. For a thicker sauce, use less water. For a thinner sauce, use more.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, but highly recommended!).
  4. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the sugar to fully dissolve, resulting in a smoother, richer sauce.
  5. Enjoy your homemade dark chocolate sauce! It's best served after a day in the fridge, allowing the flavors to deepen.
