Homemade Chocolate Syrup
Enjoy the deep, rich flavor of chocolate syrup, made fresh from just a few basic ingredients. You won't run out of uses for this versatile homemade sauce!
Last week I shared my adventures with Homemade Marshmallow Sauce, and you guys went bonkers! I'm so glad you were as excited about it as I was. There are a lot of things you can do with it, and I was so pleased to see by your comments how much it inspired you.
So today I would like to share another easy and versatile dessert sauce. This one is every bit as simple as the last, maybe even more so!
I just love how deep and rich the chocolate flavor is in this recipe. I used a blend of natural and dutched cocoa powder, and it really gave an incredibly flavorful result. The whole thing took about 5 minutes total to whip up, and now we have a delicious sauce in the cupboard that will be stirred into everything from chocolate milk to freshly brewed mochas, and drizzled as a topping over ice cream or pound cake (or both!).
I'm sure you're probably catching on to the idea that I'm going somewhere with two sauce recipes practically in a row, but that's a surprise for another day. So stay tuned!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (236.59 ml) water
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (57.33 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, (I used a dark cocoa)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
This is so surprisingly easy to make and I can't wait to see what happens next with it 🙂
Thanks Medha! I'm really excited to share. Have a great weekend dear!
Can I just drink this as is? 😉 I've never tried making my own chocolate syrup, but this sounds like something I have to do!
Honestly Kathleen? I had never made it before either. But I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was, and the flavor was way better than what I was used to. I'm a convert!
I love this recipe!!! I need a go-to chocolate syrup!!! going to try this, Allie!!!
I think you will love it Alice! I couldn't believe how fast it was to make and the flavor blew me away!
No cream? Wow! I love this! Gosh I can just see it flowing over a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream, must make, must make!
Yep, no cream necessary! And this way it's more shelf-stable. I LOVED it! Hope you do too Jessica!
I just love how simple this is! I need to give up the store bought now!
There's just no need for it, lol! When you can make it seriously in 5 minutes and it tastes so much better! Thanks Ashley!
You are killing the sauce game right now girlfriend. First marshmallow now this silky goodness? Love!
Thank you my dear! Enjoy your Friday and good luck with the segment!
ooh...that looks yum! I can't wait for the surprise!!
Thanks FlavorfulBakes! I can't wait either! 🙂
Oh dear!! This is just crazy good. And I am now waiting (in) patiently for that epic combination of these two.
Can't wait to share it! Thanks so much Zainab!
Chocolate syrup is the best. There are so many things you could use it in, or just eat is by the spoonful 🙂
I know right? Haha, thanks so much Janine!
Allie, I love how versatile and easy each of your dessert sauces have been, and I can't wait to see what you've made with them. I know it'll be another showstopper!
Aw, you're too sweet Aida! Enjoy your Friday, my friend!
ooh yea, love chocolate syrup!! It looks delicious!! 🙂
I do too! And it totally was!
My mom always made chocolate syrup when we were growing up! And I was always around to lick the pan :). Add a little corn syrup for a thicker sauce!
Great tip Becky! Thanks so much for sharing!
I guess I missed the Marshmallow Sauce. How can I get it?
Hey Sylvia! I linked to it at the beginning of the post. Here it is again, in case you missed it: https://bakingamoment.com/homemade-marshmallow-sauce/. Thanks for reading!
You are killing it with the sweet sauces! I saw the marshmallow sauce and nearly licked my screen. Now this chocolate sauce! Wowie, I could drink it!
Thanks Jen! It surprised me how much better this tasted than the store bought stuff!
Oh my gosh this looks incredibly amazing I have to try it right away!! Do you know How long this stays good for? If it lasts that long haha...
I don't really know for sure but I would imagine a good long time. After all it's nothing more than sugar and cocoa which are both pretty shelf-stable.
Hey just an update- you probably want to keep it in the fridge. Mine was good for about a week in the cupboard and then it started growing mold around the top 🙁
Ok Allie, this looks just as good as the marshmallow sauce!! I think I can hear my bathing suit crying from my closet! But it's gonna be oh so worth it! Enjoy the day!
Haha, sorry! Hope you enjoy your day too Mary Ann and have a great weekend as well!
