Since the hot weather is here for a while it looks like, I decided to post my recipe for homemade chocolate syrup. Â This is SO yummy on some homemade ice-cream too! Â Enjoy!
CHOCOLATE SYRUP
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup tap water
2 cups sugar (I use organic sugar)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanillaIn a 2 quart saucepan, mix the cocoa and water with a wire whisk or fork. Heat the chocolate water over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar and continue to stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and boil for a full 3 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat. Add the salt and vanilla, stirring to blend.
Pour the syrup into a clean pint sized canning jar, or a clean catsup container. Put a good lid on the jar and store it in the fridge. Use this chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk, or serve it over ice-cream.
Hi Sheri,
My kids will love this recipe! We’ve wondered how to make our own chocolate syrup– it looks easy to do.
Yum! Thank you for sharing! Have you looked at the ingredient list of a bottle of chocolate syrup lately? Yikes! I love that I recognize everyone of these ingredients. 🙂
Have a blessed day Sheri!
