Sweet, smooth, and seductively shiny, chocolate syrup is the diva of dessert toppings. It’s the go-to sauce that turns plain ol’ ice cream into a customizable masterpiece. Drizzle it on pancakes, add it to milk, or just guzzle it straight from the bottle (we won’t judge!). Easy to make, impossible to resist.

  • Cooking method: Stovetop
  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine type: Sweet Bliss

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until smooth. No lumps, no bumps!
  3. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Boil for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Don’t let it go nuts and overboil!
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Inhale the chocolatey aroma and resist the urge to dive in headfirst.
  5. Let the syrup cool before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Pop it in the fridge to chill. It thickens as it cools, transforming into silky goodness.

Suggestions

  • Alternative ingredients: Use brown sugar for a richer flavor or a dash of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolatey taste.
  • Garnishing: Top with a pinch of sea salt for a salty-sweet twist, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm hint of spice.
  • Cooking tips: For a thicker syrup, let it boil an extra minute. Keep stirring to avoid burnt bottoms—no one likes a burnt bottom!
