Homemade Mocha Sauce

Makes about 2 cups
Course: condiment
Servings: 16 servings
Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar I used cane sugar
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder I used a sugar free dark cocoa
  • 1/4 cup instant coffee or espresso powder more or less (I used instant coffee)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • dash salt

Instructions

  • Heat all the ingredients in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil while stirring with a whisk. Be careful of a boilover.
  • Keep an eye on the sauce and stir frequently.
  • Taste a spoonful (let it cool first!) and add more coffee powder if desired
  • Allow the sauce to reduce to a syrup that's still pourable.
  • Cool and transfer to a container. (I like a squeeze bottle)
  • Keep in the fridge and use within a month.
