Description

This Homemade Chocolate Syrup is rich, smooth, and perfect for drizzling over ice cream, mixing into milk, or adding to your favorite desserts. Made with simple ingredients, it’s a delicious and customizable treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp instant coffee (optional, for depth of flavor)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and water. Stir to combine well.
  2. Cook the Syrup:
    • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
    • Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly.
  3. Add Vanilla and Coffee:
    • Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and instant coffee (if using). The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but it’s optional.
  4. Cool and Store:
    • Let the syrup cool before transferring it to a jar or bottle.
    • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
  5. Serve:
    • Drizzle over ice cream, mix into milk, or use in your favorite desserts. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sugar.
  • You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a unique twist on the flavor.
