How to Make Chocolate Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of water, whisking constantly to create a smooth paste. Avoid lumps!
- Stir in ½ cup light corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to fully cook the cocoa starch. The syrup will slightly thicken.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. This prevents the vanilla from evaporating.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the cooled chocolate syrup into a clean, airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
