Low Fodmap Chocolate Syrup
A thick, syrupy chocolate sauce made with low fodmap and IBS safe ingredients that contains low sugar, cocoa and any alternative milk you like to use.
Ingredients
- Well folks, I am happy to tell you that you can make a dark, chocolaty, thick and sweet version of chocolate syrup from scratch that rivals anything you buy in the store, using a small amount of sugar to boot.
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a heavy two quart saucepan, place the sugar, cocoa and salt. Slowly stir in the milk using a wooden spoon or a whisk.
- When the dry ingredients are well incorporated into the milk, it should look like a dark, syrupy liquid. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly the entire time. Four or five minutes. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to stir and simmer until the mixture thickens. About 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Stir constantly until it thickens. Then turn off the heat.
- Pour the syrup into a glass jar and place in the refrigerator.
- My jar is an old salsa jar with the label removed. It lasts quite awhile in the fridge, but I am not exactly sure how long because after a week, it was all gone. It tastes divine on cut up fruit, on small scoops of ice cream, in a cold glass of milk and on and on.
- Since the sugar content is much lower than other recipes that call for two cups or more, the calorie count is low as well. One cup of syrup is 350 calories and one tablespoon of syrup is 22 calories.
