How to Make Emeril Lagasse's Cajun Chocolate Syrup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup unsweetened chocolate (chopped), ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup water.
  2. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 5 minutes, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the syrup to thicken further.
  5. Once chilled, serve over ice cream, in milk, or use to create incredible milkshakes. Enjoy!
