1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add both sugars and cocoa powder; whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk continuously until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Tips
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
For a thinner sauce, add an extra tablespoon of cream.
This sauce can also be used as a fondue dip for fruits or marshmallows.
