Easy Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Easy Homemade Chocolate Sauce blends cocoa and sugar with a hint of flour for body, whisked into warm milk and butter until glossy and pourable. Rich, chocolaty, and smoothly balanced with vanilla and a pinch of salt, it’s ideal for drizzling over ice cream, pancakes, or brownies. A quick stovetop finish makes it perfect for last-minute desserts.
