Chocolate Fudge Sauce

Chocolate Fudge Sauce

1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup soft light brown sugar
50 grams butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Place the cocoa and the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and mix until there are no lumps.

Add the butter, milk and vanilla. Turn on the heat and bring to the boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.

Let the sauce boil for two minutes without stirring, then remove from the heat and let it cool.

  1. How much is 50 grams of butter in tablespoons? This sounds good.

    1. A tablespoon is 15 mL and a teaspoon 5 mL, and if scooped up when semi soft (not melted) the weight of butter is similar to its volume, so 50 grams should be roughly 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon. The recipe doesn't have to be precise though, I often just take a guess and it works fine - too little butter and it will be runnier, too much and it will be fudgier, but it will still be chocolate sauce :)
