More Chocolate Sauce, Please!

One taste of this sauce and Barry said, "That tastes like more, please!" Made from cocoa powder, this thick fudgy homemade chocolate sauce takes ice cream to a whole new level of deliciousness. 

More Chocolate Sauce
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use dark chocolate cocoa)
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt

1. Whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan. (Mixing sugar with the cocoa breaks down the starch in the cocoa and helps avoid lumpy sauce.)
   
2. Using a wooden or cooking spoon, stir in the cream and heat of medium-low to low until sugar dissolves and mixture boils.
3. Stir in butter and cook on medium-low to medium, stirring until mixture thickens. 
   
4. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
5. Store in there refrigerator and heat in the microwave to warm and thin slightly before spooning over ice cream, brownies, etc.
