Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Slowly add the water while continuing to whisk, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once the syrup begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. Keep in mind it will thicken more as it cools.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container for storage.
Step 7
Store the chocolate syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using if it thickens over time.
