Ingredients

8 servings

½ cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
¼ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp fine salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Whisk together the heavy cream, water, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a small saucepan until the cocoa is mostly dissolved and no large lumps remain.
2
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 4–5 minutes.
