Hot Fudge Sauce

1/4 cup water
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tbs vanilla extract

Combine water, corn syrup and sugar in a nonreactive pan and bring
to a boil, stirring often, until all sugar crystals have melted.
Boil 1 min without stirring. Remove from heat. Add salt and
chocolate and allow to stand 2 min until chocolate has melted, then
whisk smooth. Stir cocoa into mixing bowl and stir in enough liquid
mixture to make paste. Stir cocoa paste smoothly back into syrup.
Whisk in butter, cream and vanilla. Store sauce in tightly covered
jar in refrigerator. Reheat over simmering water before serving.
Makes about 2 cups.
