How to Make Diet Chocolate Sauce

If you don't have brewed coffee, dissolve 1 teaspoon of freeze-dried decaffeinated coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of water.
In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of milk (any kind), the coffee mixture, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar to the saucepan. Whisk to combine.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and is no longer grainy or cloudy. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
