# Instructions:

In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk to combine and heat over medium heat, stirring continually, until the mixture comes together and starts to steam and simmer. Increase heat if necessary, but stir continuously. Do not leave unattended.
