This 5-minute Chocolate Sugar-Free Syrup is for you if you are following a keto diet, managing your sugar intake, or just looking for an alternative to store-bought sugar-free syrups. Rich and smooth, this homemade syrup is a delicious addition to your favorite drinks and desserts.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Unsweetened
- 1/2 cup Monkfruit Sweetener
- 3/4 cup Water
Instructions
- Combine the cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, and water In a small saucepan.
- Place the pan over medium-low heat (gas stove top) and stir the mixture continuously. In about 3½ to 4 minutes, the mixture should come to a gentle boil.
- Once it starts bubbling, lower the heat slightly and stir vigorously for 1 more minute. This helps everything blend into a smooth, glossy syrup.
- Remove from heat and let it cool. As it cools, it will thicken slightly.
Notes
- Stirring well to keep the mixture from clumping.
- If it thickens too much after storing, just warm it slightly before using it. I usually remove the lid and microwave it in a glass container for 10-15 seconds.
- Keep it on medium-low. If you crank the heat too high, the cocoa can burn and turn bitter.
- If you want to level this up, add a tiny pinch of salt and/or a splash of vanilla extract after you remove it from the heat.
