3-Minute Easy Chocolate Sauce

This is the easiest, fastest and very delicious chocolate sauce that I whipped up – in less than 3 minutes.

Yes, you heard me right – 3 minutes!

And you only need 4 ingredients which are definitely found in your pantry!

(Yes, I’m very excited talking about this chocolate sauce. )

Here’s the break down:

(This is probably by far the shortest step-by-step photos I’ve ever taken!)

1st minute – measure sugar and cocoa powder.

2nd minute – add in water and bring the mixture to a boil.

3rd minute – measure some butter and whisk it in.

And that’s it! Now you just have to let it cool.

Here’s what I did to my chocolate sauce: I grabbed a puff (recipe here) and fill it with ice cream.

And then I pour the warm chocolate sauce on top – oooh la la!

Pure bliss on a plate!

3-Minute Easy Chocolate Sauce (makes ~125 ml; 1/2 cup)

adapted from Masterchef Aria Chocolate Tart by Poh Ling Yeow

Note: A fellow foodie, Jane, tried out this recipe and used water instead of milk, and she said the resulting sauce is even better! I guess the milk make the sauce richer and thicker! Thanks Jane!

30 grams (1/4 cup) best-quality cocoa powder (I used Varlhona cocoa)
55 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
100 ml water / milk
10 grams (2 teaspoons) unsalted butter, diced

Combine the cocoa powder, caster sugar and water in a small pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly to dissolve the sugar and cocoa powder.

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the butter. Let the sauce cool before transferring it to a serving container. The sauce will thicken slightly when cooled.

Make ahead: Keep the sauce covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Warm it up in the microwave or in a pot and whisk till smooth before using.

Notes:

[1] Use the best quality cocoa powder you can find. I love Varlhona cocoa – it’s expensive, but worth every penny!

[2] The resulting sauce is bitter-sweet, so if you like a sweeter sauce, add in more sugar while it’s still warm.

[3] If you need the sauce urgently, place the pot in an ice water bath and stir till it’s cool.

Happy saucing!
