Description

A rich, velvety chocolate syrup made with real cocoa powder and pure vanilla. Perfect for blending into chocolate coquito, drizzling over desserts, or making hot cocoa. Made with simple, clean ingredients, it avoids artificial additives and preservatives found in store versions. The result is a smooth, pourable syrup with deep chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup of Organic Cane Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 1 Cup of Filtered Water
  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Liquid Measuring Cup
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Mason Jar

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together organic cane sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  • Slowly pour in water while whisking continuously until smooth.
  • Place over medium heat and whisk frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in pure vanilla extract.
  • Allow syrup to cool completely before pouring into a glass jar for storage.

Notes

Use Dutch process cocoa for a smoother flavor. Whisk constantly to prevent scorching. Do not overcook or it will become too thick when cooled. Stir in 1 tbsp warm water if it thickens too much in the refrigerator. Phase: Luteal Phase: This supports this phase by providing a magnesium rich cocoa option that helps satisfy chocolate cravings in a cleaner way. Season: All Seasons: Works year round for drinks and desserts. Storage: Refrigerate up to 1 month in a sealed glass jar.
