Homemade Chocolate Syrup
Description
This recipe starts by mixing cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a saucepan before adding water to create a smooth mixture. The mixture is then brought to a boil and maintained for one minute, ensuring the syrup thickens properly without burning or boiling over. Once removed from heat and cooled slightly, vanilla extract is stirred in to add depth to the flavor.
The resulting chocolate syrup has a smooth consistency, suitable for drizzling over ice cream, mixing into milk for chocolate milk, or enhancing coffee and hot chocolate. Preparation is simple and the ingredients are commonly found, making it an accessible homemade chocolate condiment.
Keep the syrup refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 10 days to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
