Chocolate syrup in milk, chocolate syrup on ice cream, who doesn’t like chocolate syrup! If you have never check the ingredients on the back of your store-bought syrup you should. All those ingredients that you don’t know what they are, they are not needed to make chocolate syrup nor are they good for your body. It only takes a few ingredients to make a delicious syrup that will remind you of that glass of chocolate milk from childhood. Enjoy!
1 C. water
1/2 C. pure maple syrup
3/4 C. unsweetened cocoa powder ( I used cacao powder)
1-1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
In a medium-size saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together the water and maple syrup, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Whisk the cocoa into the water/syrup mixture until the powder is fully dissolved and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove the chocolate syrup from the heat. Stir the vanilla extract and salt into the syrup.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator up to several months.
