Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Sugar and Water: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Be sure to use a larger pan as the mixture will bubble while heating.
  2. Add Cacao Powder: Once the sugar is dissolved, add 1/3 cup of cacao powder to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cocoa is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a steady boil, keeping an eye on it to avoid overflows.
  4. Boil and Stir: Stir constantly and allow the mixture to boil gently for 3 minutes to thicken the syrup.
  5. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  6. Cool and Store: Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to your preferred container for storage. The syrup is ready to use once cooled.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened cacao powder for the best chocolate flavor without added sugar.
  • Stirring continuously during boiling prevents burning and ensures smooth syrup.
  • Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • If the syrup thickens too much upon cooling, stir in a small amount of warm water before using.
  • Adjust sweetness or cacao levels to taste by slightly reducing sugar or adding more cacao powder.
