This rich and creamy chocolate fudge sauce is perfect for drizzling over your favorite desserts.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding other ingredients to prevent lumps.
Whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
Sifting the cocoa powder beforehand helps avoid clumps.
Stir in the evaporated milk and corn syrup, mixing well.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides of the saucepan for even mixing.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding vanilla off the heat preserves its flavor.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
The sauce thickens as it cools, so let it rest for a few minutes for the perfect consistency.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts, such as ice cream or brownies.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
