Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup water
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Add the water and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5–7 minutes. Continue stirring frequently as the syrup thickens slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract after the syrup has cooled slightly to preserve its flavor.
Step 7
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or a glass jar.
Step 8
Store the chocolate syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
