Description
This chocolate pancake syrup is the best chocolate sauce for pancakes! It is like a combination between a chocolate ganache and fudge sauce and is incredibly simple to make in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in the chocolate chips, stirring until they have melted into a smooth mixture.
- Add in the brown sugar, milk and cocoa powder. Stir to combine. Continue stirring for a couple of minutes until the chocolate sauce is smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then immediately reduce the temperature to low. Stir for a couple more minutes, then remove the sauce from the stove and let it cool to room temperature.
Notes
- If you find the sauce is too thick once it has cooled, mix in an extra tablespoon of milk. If it does not mix in smoothly, mix in the milk while heating the syrup on low.
- Storage: Store leftover pancake syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to loosen it up before serving.
