Chocolate Syrup
Decadent, rich chocolate syrup from scratch using real cocoa and simple ingredients, so much better than store-bought!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add cocoa powder, granulated sugar, salt and water. Whisk to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly as the mixture heats up and begins to thicken.
- Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Let the chocolate syrup cool in the pan; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight glass jar or container for storage. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
