Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup Recipe
Introduction
This sugar-free chocolate syrup is rich, smooth, and perfect for drizzling over desserts or mixing into drinks. Made with allulose and cocoa powder, it’s a guilt-free treat that satisfies chocolate cravings without added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup allulose
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, allulose, and salt. Pour this mixture into a small saucepan, add the water, and whisk until smooth.
- Step 2: Place the saucepan over medium heat. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low. Let the syrup simmer for 1–2 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent burning.
- Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Allow the syrup to cool completely, then transfer it to a shallow container or jar. Refrigerate for at least one hour to thicken before using.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of instant espresso powder along with the cocoa powder.
- Use erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener if allulose is unavailable, but note the texture may slightly differ.
- Store the syrup in a glass jar for best freshness and easy pouring.
Storage
Keep the chocolate syrup refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Before each use, stir well as it may thicken or slightly separate. To loosen, warm briefly in the microwave or stir in a splash of warm water.

FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of allulose?
Yes, regular sugar can be substituted, but the syrup will no longer be sugar-free and may have a slightly different texture and sweetness level.
How do I know when the syrup is thick enough?
After refrigeration, the syrup should have a pourable but thicker consistency, similar to store-bought chocolate syrup. If it’s too runny, try simmering it a bit longer next time.
