Syrup - Chocolate Syrup
Posted: 09 Apr 2019, 11:46
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dash salt
Use a big saucepan – at least 2 quarts. This will expand when boiling, and overflows will make a big mess on your stove top! Use a 3-quart saucepan to be safe. Combine the cocoa powder, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix with a whisk until smooth. Stir constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon until it boils. Allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Syrup will be very thin/watery. Allow to cool completely and it will thicken to about the same consistency as store-bought chocolate syrup. Store the syrup in a mason jar or any other container. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge.
