my mom Petra’s family-famous chocolate sauce is the perfect recipe to have in your back pocket when wanting to spice up a sweet treat! only requiring five ingredients, this concoction will literally have you licking the pot (i can attest). it comes together in less than ten minutes, also making it a great recipe to master when hosting.

ingredients (yields about 1 cup of chocolate sauce)

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder (this is my favorite)

splash of heavy whipping cream

1 tbsp of butter

***the quantities of sugar, water, and cocoa powder can change based on the desired amount of sauce you want to make as long as their equal proportions stay consistent

preparation

1. bring equal parts water and sugar to a boil
2. add in an equal part of cocoa powder, stir and let the mixture boil for a few minutes on low
3. stir in a chunk of butter and let that melt
4. add in a splash of heavy whipping cream and simmer for about a minute
5. take it off the heat
6. try to restrain yourself

ET VOILÀ!!!!
