Hot Fudge Sauce

Unsweetened cocoa powder does not contain cocoa butter, and so has substantially less fat than chocolate. This hot fudge sauce, sans cocoa butter, has a slightly powdery finish and less richness than its higher-fat counterparts, but it will certainly satisfy chocolate cravings.

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons warm water
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon arrowroot, mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Directions:
Pour the water, cocoa powder and sugar into a small saucepan and stir over low heat until dissolved.

Remove from heat.

Stir in arrowroot mixture, return to the heat and whisk until thickened.

Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth.

Makes 3/4 cup sauce
