Easy Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipes

CHOCOLATE SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and water in a medium saucepan.
• Put the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer.
• Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add in the vanilla. It will thicken as it cools so don't worry if it seems thin.
• Let the syrup cool before storing it in an airtight jar.

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.

CHOCOLATE SIMPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Pour the granulated sugar, water, and cocoa powder into a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, and stir continuously until the mixture just starts to boil. It usually takes about 3 minutes for my simple syrup to reach a boil.
• Remove from heat. Pour into a separate container and cool to room temperature. I like to keep my simple syrup in mason jars for easy storage.
• If you're making this in advance, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
