How to Make Dark Chocolate Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the water until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add the heavy cream and dark chocolate. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 2-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
