Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the water and white sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
  3. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a hard boil and let it boil vigorously for one minute.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Whisk in the cocoa powder vigorously until the sauce is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Return the saucepan to low heat and bring the mixture just to a boil again, stirring continuously.
  7. Remove from heat immediately and allow the sauce to stand; it will thicken as it cools.
  8. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate; warm slightly before serving if it becomes too thick.
