Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add Water: Slowly pour in the water while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Be sure not to overcook as it will thicken more as it cools.

  5. Cool and Store: Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour it into a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
