I found this recipe a long time ago in the New York Times and recently
tried it. I liked the outcome and actually ate it with ff sorbet and also
by the spoonful. It's possible that some people who like to experiment
could suggest improvements, like added flavorings or extracts or honey.
Depending on the temperature served, it could also be a sauce or the base
of some kind of mousse. Don't worry about the buttermilk contributing a
strong flavor, IMHO, the flavor was more sweet and cocoaey.

Combine cocoa and brown sugar in a saucepan. Gradually add buttermilk,
stirring Cook (lowtomedium heat) until sugar dissolves, whisking to
remove lumps. Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Store
in refrigerator in tightly sealed container. Makes about Three fourths cup
sauce/frosting.
