Ingredients
1 can (approx. 395g) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the baking or international aisle of most mainstream supermarkets. For cocoa powder, look for high-quality unsweetened Dutch-processed or natural cocoa in the baking section; avoid pre-sweetened drink mixes. Butter can be found in the dairy aisle of any local grocery store. If you are struggling to find specific ingredients, check the 'International' or 'Latin' section of large grocery retailers, or visit a local specialty food market.
Preparation method
- Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt it over medium heat
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder until well combined
- Whisk or stir consistently to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth
- Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan, about 10 to 15 minutes
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly to reach a spoonable, creamy consistency before serving
