Chocolate Sauce

Simple chocolate sauce with four ingredients to drizzle over your favorite dessert indulgence.

This homemade chocolate sauce is a quick, rich topping perfect for enhancing desserts. Warm whole milk over medium heat to create a creamy base, then whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar until smooth. After simmering for 5 minutes to deepen the flavor, add a touch of vanilla off the heat, allowing the sauce to thicken as it cools, making it ideal for drizzling over ice cream, cakes, or fruit.
