Description

Paying too much for storebought ice cream topping made with high fructose corn syrup? This is the solution!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

In a saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the water and whisk.

Simmer over med/low heat for 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Take off heat and add vanilla.

Let cool, and pour into jars. Stores, refrigerated, for awhile, but it’s never been an issue.

*This recipe is really just ratios, and any amount can be made.

*This recipe is for traditional syrup. I like mine dark, so I use equal parts cocoa, sugar, and water.

Tasty! I love the simplicity of it, since I always have cocoa powder on hand but rarely baking chocolate. I added some choc. chips when it was done to make sure it was thick and fudgey!

I, too, was looking for a corn-free recipe, and this is PERFECT! SO much better than the stuff at the store! It was excellent in my homemade mocha this morning, and I am looking forward to using it in other ways, too!

Thanks so much for this recipe! I was looking for a corn and dairy free recipe for my allergic son, but this is a recipe the whole family enjoyed! The sauce sets up on ice cream which the kids had a lot of fun with. Nice and fudge-y too!
