Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup minced cocoa butter
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Heat water, cocoa powder, maple syrup, cocoa butter and salt in small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, whisking constantly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let come to room temperature and store in airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use natural cocoa powder vs Dutch-processed cocoa powder as natural cocoa powder isn’t as intense of a flavor.
  • If you can't find cocoa butter or don't have it, just replace it with quality dark chocolate.
  • Chocolate syrup will last for about two weeks if sealed properly in the fridge.
