Chocolate Sauce
1 cup (250ml) water
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/2 cup (160g) light corn syrup, agave nectar, or glucose
3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
2 ounces (55g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the water, sugar, corn syrup, and
cocoa powder.
2. Warm the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once it just
begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted.
Serving: You should let the Chocolate Sauce stand for a few hours before
serving, which will give it time to thicken a bit.
Storage: Store the chocolate sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator
for up to 10 days. Rewarm before serving.
