This chocolate maple syrup combines maple syrup, cocoa, water, vanilla, and salt. A short microwave step brings it together, and the sauce thickens as it cools.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Whisk until the cocoa is fully combined with the liquids.
- Microwave for 30 seconds.
- Whisk again carefully; the bowl and sauce may be hot.
- Let the sauce cool until it reaches the preferred thickness.
- Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate.
Serving and Warming Notes
The sauce thickens when cold. To loosen it, let the covered container stand briefly outside the refrigerator or place a heat-safe sealed container in warm water. Stir before serving and return it to the refrigerator promptly.
