With just five ingredients, this is how to make chocolate syrup from cocoa powder – and still get the same delicious taste you would with a traditional chocolate syrup recipe. Plus, there's no refined sugar, no dairy and it can be made keto.
Combine all of the ingredients in a pot, turn up the heat, and stir well to thoroughly combine and get rid of any lumps.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat slightly and, stirring occasionally, allowing the mixture to thicken and reduce for around 8-10 minutes.
Once ready, allow to cool and then decant into a pouring jar. Note that the sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, so don't be too alarmed at how thin it is when hot.
How To Store
This syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for between 1-2 months.

Notes
You could also add in a few coffee grounds (just a pinch) and that will also help to enrich the chocolate flavor and add depth of flavor. Add more if you want to make a "mocha" style sauce.
You can adjust the amount of sweetener used according to your tastebuds. Start by adding half of my suggested amount and then increasing as needed. Make sure to do this while the sauce is still hot, so the sweetener dissolves into the mixture.
For a thicker sauce, you can reduce it for longer while heating or add a little cornstarch to thicken it.
