Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and cocoa powder can be found in the baking aisle of any major supermarket. Butter is available in the dairy section; salted or unsalted butter can be used, though unsalted is often preferred to balance the sweetness.
Preparation method
- Place the butter in a saucepan and allow it to melt over medium heat.
- Add the condensed milk and cocoa powder to the pan.
- Whisk or stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Continue to stir constantly until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan, which should take between 10 to 15 minutes.
