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
Ingredients
- 30 grams cocoa powder, dutch-processed
- 55 grams caster sugar
- 100 ml water
- 10 grams unsalted butter, diced
Instructions
- 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
- Use the best-quality cocoa powder you can afford - my favourite brand at the moment is Valrhona.
- Feel free to add more sugar if you desire a sweeter sauce.
- For a richer and thicker sauce, substitute water with milk.

Sanjo says
This was an excellent recipe – I had to make 3 liters of chocolate sauce for a function and it was perfect…. made a slight variation by adding some vanilla for flavour…. thanks a ton! Great recipe
Jasline N. says
Wow 3 litres of chocolate sauce?? It spells chocolate heaven to me! I'm glad you like the recipe Sanjo, and the vanilla addition sounds awesome! 🙂
Neva says
Enjoyed this recipe; thanks! P.S. there is no ml to cup conversion on the water, if you want to add that. I used this recipe to moisten up some brownies that I made that were too dry because I added some cornmeal and not enough liquid. So I poked lots of holes in the brownies w/ a fork and poured this over to bring back the moistness and enhance the taste. P.S.S., I substituted 1/2 of the sugar with liquid stevia (4 droppers) and it was still delicious. 🙂
Jasline N. says
Hi Neva, I'm so happy you like the recipe 🙂 Added cup conversion on the water, thanks for the suggestion!

Xundux yasir says
Can it b used to cover cake?
Jasline N. says
Hi, I will not recommend this to cover the cake as it may not be thick enough. Use a chocolate ganache (chocolate to cream in the ratio of 1:1) if you want to cover the cake.

Oh, Jasline! Just what my diet needs, a more efficient delivery system for chocolate. 🙂
This does look so rich and delicious and it's too easy to make. The sight of your sauce dripping down a profiterol has me salivating. I need some vanilla ice cream. I have everything else needed.
