Steps
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and water in a medium saucepan.
Put the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer.
Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from the heat and add in the vanilla. It will thicken as it cools so don't worry if it seems thin.
Let the syrup cool before storing it in an airtight jar.

Pamela Johnson on 2025-01-03 (5 stars): Monk fruit same amount of sugar right?
Elliot on 2025-01-02 (5 stars): Used monkfruit… amazing!!!
Rene on 2024-09-28 (5 stars): I used Hershey's special dark cocoa and organic fruit sugar. We are all allergic to cane sugar products (which makes desserts difficult). This was wonderful in hot coffee with cream. Will try on a myriad of other baked goods and our homemade ice cream. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
Christi Ruby on 2024-09-15 (5 stars): Wow! What a great recipe! I reduced the sugar and water to 3/4c to match the cacao powder. It's like DARK chocolate, my favorite! Great consistency and flavor. Thank you for sharing!
