How to Make Decadent Chocolate Sauce
- Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- In the heatproof bowl, add 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and stir constantly until warm and smooth.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water until smooth. This prevents lumps.
- Gradually whisk the cocoa mixture into the warm condensed milk, ensuring it is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
