Chocolate Sauce

1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoons strong brewed coffee*
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup brown sugar

* If you do not have any brewed coffee, dissolve 1 teaspoon of freeze-dried decaffeinated coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of water.

In a small saucepan, combine the milk, coffee, and cornstarch and stir until the cornstarch dissolves. Stir in the cocoa and brown sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy. Remove from heat; set aside to cool.

Use when cool or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Makes 8 servings.
