Crafted with love and a handful of simple ingredients, this velvety sauce embodies the essence of rich, luscious chocolate, surpassing the store-bought alternatives in both flavor and authenticity.

USES OF CHOCOLATE SYRUP

The versatility and convenience of chocolate syrup make it a popular choice for adding a delightful chocolate touch to a wide range of culinary creations.

1. Ice Cream Topping: Drizzle chocolate syrup over ice cream for a classic and delicious sundae.

2. Milkshakes: make any of the milkshake and enhance it with a swirl of chocolate syrup for a flavorful twist.

3. Dessert Decor: Use it as a decorative element on cakes, brownies, pancakes, waffles or cupcakes. Addition of chocolate sauce over any of such dessert will take the taste of dessert to another level.

4. Beverages: Stir into hot/cold milk or coffee for an indulgent, chocolatey flavor. Its addition in coffee will make you feel like having a mocha experience.

5. Fruit Dip: Dip fruits like strawberries or bananas for a delightful chocolate-covered treat.

6. Cocktail Mixer: Create chocolate-flavored cocktails by incorporating syrup into drink recipes.

7. Yogurt Parfait: Layer chocolate syrup with yogurt and granola for a tasty parfait.

INGREDIENTS USED IN HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP

COCOA POWDER : To make this recipe, you need to use good quality of 100% unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder.

SUGAR: This recipe uses brown sugar. However you can use the regular white granulated sugar as well.

CORN FLOUR: what we name corn flour in India is called by the name Corn starch outside. This will help the syrup to thicken.

WATER: This recipes uses water as a liquid agent. In place of water, you can use milk as well but the chocolate syrup made with milk has a very short life, approximately 2 to 3 days. So it is suggested to go for water for a longer shelf life.

SALT : A pinch of salt for enhancing the sweetness of chocolate syrup.

VANILLA ESSENCE: Vanilla essence is added for elevating the flavours whereas we realised later that even if it would not have been added, there were not any difference in taste though. So you can easily skip this or substitute vanilla essence with chocolate essence for more deep flavours of chocolate.

FOR HOW LONG HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP CAN BE STORED?

Homemade chocolate syrup can be stored for up to 3 months in a clean glass bottle in refrigerator.

In essence, homemade chocolate sauce embodies the spirit of culinary craftsmanship, bringing forth a symphony of flavors that captivates the taste buds and elevates desserts to new heights.

With its rich, customizable nature and the joy it adds to the act of creating in the kitchen, this sauce stands as a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the immense pleasure derived from savoring the finest, homemade indulgences.
