This 4-ingredient Homemade Chocolate Sauce is the perfect healthier substitute to the conventional variety. And, it takes just minutes to prepare!
Made with only four ingredients, it dissolves perfectly into milk and keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
When it comes to maple syrup, I prefer the Grade B variety because it has a deeper flavor. And, this is the cocoa powder that I use, but if you prefer a darker syrup, this one would be a good fit!
Pour it over ice cream, yogurt or granola. Add it to a milk shake, or just eat a little by the spoonful. It’s a thing of beauty!

Instructions
- Pour maple syrup and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium sauce pan. Warm over medium heat until just simmering. Whisk in cocoa powder (it will take a minute or two to get all of the cocoa completely incorporated). Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The ingredients will settle a bit while in the refrigerator, so make sure to stir or shake the container before using.
