Ingredients

  • 100 ml Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 1.5 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Flour/Corn Starch
  • 1 tablespoon Nutella

Instructions

  • Measure all ingredients first and keep them ready.
  • From the measured milk, take out two spoonfuls and add the corn flour. Mix well to make a lump-free mixture.
  • Heat the remaining milk and add cocoa powder. Mix well with a whisk to break all lumps. Alternatively, you may pass the cocoa powder through a tea strainer first before adding it to the milk.
  • Now once the cocoa-milk mixture has come to a rolling boil, add the cornflour-milk mixture and let the mixture boil. Add sugar at this point as well.
  • You will see that the mixture has started thickening. Now turn off the heat and add Nutella. Mix well. You may add Vanilla Extract optionally as well.
  • Let the sauce cool for some time. If you use it right now, it will be runny. For a thicker sauce, refrigerate it for at least 1-2 hours before spreading.

Notes

I  made this sauce to use it with the Chocolate Banana Snack Cake and since snack cakes do not require a thick layer of icing, the serving size of this recipe is small. 
You may double or triple the recipe to make larger batches.
