Ingredients

1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Cocoa
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 can Evaporated skimmed -- (12 ounces)
Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla

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.

To store, let cool to room temperature, then press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
