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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 61 percent cacao, chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Bring cocoa powder and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until it has melted. Pour through a fine sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Stir in vanilla. Let cool 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your syrup. Opt for high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Heat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add a little bit of salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the syrup and enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
  • Experiment with different flavors: You can add different flavors to your syrup to create unique variations. Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder.
  • Store the syrup in a jar or bottle: Once the syrup has cooled, store it in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade chocolate syrup is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and decadent syrup that will elevate your favorite recipes.
