Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk (250ml)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Mix: Start by sieving the cocoa powder and flour into a bowl. Whisk them together thoroughly to combine.
- Combine with Sugar: In a saucepan, add the sugar followed by the sieved cocoa powder and flour mixture. Stir well to integrate the ingredients.
- Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir continuously to ensure the dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet ingredients.
- Cook the Sauce: Place the saucepan on the stove over low heat. Keep stirring constantly to prevent any burning. Cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Finish with Butter: A few minutes before removing the saucepan from the heat, add the butter. Stir well until the butter is completely melted and mixed into the sauce, giving it a rich, glossy finish.
- Cool and Store: Transfer the chocolate sauce into a container or glass bowl and allow it to cool. Once cooled, store it in the refrigerator.
