Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually pour in the evaporated milk while whisking constantly to prevent clumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or whisk.
  4. Continue cooking until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens significantly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. If any lumps formed during cooking, whisk vigorously or beat with a wire whisk until the sauce is completely smooth.
  7. Serve the sauce warm over ice cream, cake, or fruit.
  8. To store, let cool to room temperature, then press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week. Reheat gently if desired.
