How to Make Fudgy Sauce

  1. Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the sauce is fully cooked and the cornstarch is cooked through.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  6. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
