Make Easy Homemade Chocolate Syrup in 5 minutes, with 4 common ingredients! Use for chocolate milk, desserts, etc.
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup boiling water
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Place sugar, cocoa powder, and boiling water in a Medium-sized saucepan. Whisk or stir ingredients well. Bring them to a boil on Medium-Low heat. Once boiling, continue to boil for 2 minutes, whisking often.
-
IMPORTANT: Do not step away from the stove while the syrup is boiling! When the syrup boils, it will rise in the saucepan (this is why you need a MEDIUM-sized saucepan versus a small pan). Continue to whisk or stir to keep the bubbling down in the pan. If necessary, lift the pan off the heat for a second until the liquid and bubbles go back down, then put right back on the heat!
-
After syrup has boiled for 2 minutes, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in vanilla, then set the pan aside to allow syrup time to cool completely.
-
Once completely cooled, transfer syrup to a bottle or other airtight container. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. Enjoy!
