Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until blended. Add the water and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and whisk over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
  • Continue boiling until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. The mixture will still be fairly thin (it thickens to a syrup-like consistency once cool). Taste and stir in additional salt until dissolved, up to 1/4 teaspoon, if desired.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool. Taste again. If it's not sweet enough for you, add a bit more sugar and stir in the warm syrup until dissolved.
  • Store syrup in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. The syrup should keep, refrigerated, for at least a month.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The type of cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavour of your chocolate syrup. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and rich, with a deep chocolate aroma.
  • Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause it to become thick and gloopy. Instead, bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the syrup cool completely: Once the syrup has been removed from the heat, let it cool completely before storing it. This will help it to thicken and develop its full flavour.
  • Store the syrup in an airtight container: Chocolate syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the syrup for up to 6 months.
  • Use the syrup in a variety of ways: Chocolate syrup can be used in a variety of ways, including:
  • Drizzling it over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
  • Stirring it into milk or coffee.
  • Using it as a glaze for cakes or brownies.
  • Adding it to chocolate mousse or pudding.

Conclusion:

Chocolate syrup is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make at home, and it's a great way to add a chocolatey flavour to your favourite desserts and drinks.
