1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Simply bring the ingredients to a boil and simmer it and cook until the mixture has thickened.Remove from heat. Let cool slightly, stir in vanilla. Serve warm or pour into a bottle and refrigerate until serving.
Note:
This is perfect for ice cream topping.
Even drizzle it over pancakes decorating cookies, muffins etc.
You can also add some to sweeten a fruit smoothie, a couple of tablespoons into a glass of milk for a chocolate milk. For kids I even serve as dip with fruits.
For thicker version you can add the corn flour. (2 tablespoons cornflour dissolved in a tablespoon of water).IF you are adding corn flour , Let it boil lightly for about a minute and then removed it from the heat and stir in vanilla.
