Chocolate Maple Syrup

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

  1. Place all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Whisk until the cocoa is fully combined with the liquids.
  3. Microwave for 30 seconds.
  4. Whisk again carefully; the bowl and sauce may be hot.
  5. Let the sauce cool until it reaches the preferred thickness.
  6. 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.
