Lean Chocolate Sauce

2 cups water
1 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Whisk the water, cocoa powder, and corn syrup together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from the heat and add the chocolate pieces, stirring until melted and smooth.  Serve warm.

The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rewarm it gently in a microwave or by stirring in a saucepan over very low heat.

Makes 3 cups.
