    This Vegan, Paleo, & Keto Chocolate Syrup is the perfect sweet topping to your favorite dessert and only takes about 10 minutes to make. Drizzle it over your favorite low-carb ice cream, use it to make keto chocolate milk, serve with berries, or even eat it straight from the spoon!

    I can't even begin to tell you how excited my kids are about this recipe!

    They've been using it to make chocolate milk, milkshakes, and eating it with berries and low-carb ice cream non-stop.

    They are truly in chocolate syrup bliss!

    And I'm happy because not only is it suuuuppper easy to make, but it's low-carb with no junk ingredients!

    Also, it stays pourable, doesn't crystallize, and is just as good (I would argue better!) than the Hershey's Syrup we all know and love.

    The sweetener

    For the sweetener, I recommend using allulose or an allulose monk fruit blend. Xylitol will probably work too, but I haven't tested it.

    I don't recommend using an erythritol-based sweetener because it will cause the sauce to crystallize and be grainy.

    Keep in mind that allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners. So if you use xylitol or an allulose blend you may need to reduce the sweetener by a few tablespoons.

    Easy instructions

    ingredients simmering in pot

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine some water, cocoa powder, sweetener, and sea salt.

    Bring to a boil. Then, lower the heat to a light simmer and simmer, untouched, 4 to 5 minutes.

    whisking ingredients in pot

    Remove from heat and stir in some pure vanilla.

    drizzling chocolate syrup over ice cream

    Enjoy in non-dairy milk, over low-carb ice cream, with berries, or however your heart desires!

    💭 Frequently asked questions

    How long does homemade chocolate syrup last?

    Homemade keto chocolate syrup can be stored 2 to 3 months in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

    What's the difference between chocolate sauce and chocolate syrup?

    Chocolate sauce is usually made with cream instead of water and is typically thicker than chocolate syrup.

    What can I use keto chocolate syrup for?

    We love to add it to unsweetened almond milk to make chocolate milk, drizzled over low-carb ice cream, or mixed with low-carb ice cream to make a milkshake. It's also great with berries, or just eaten off a spoon!

    Can I make this paleo?

    Yes, you can! Simply reduce the water to ½ cup and replace the sweetener with 6 Tbsp. coconut palm sugar and 6 Tbsp. honey. Taste and add more sweetener as needed.

    Do I have to use non-dairy milk to make keto chocolate milk?

    Typically, one cup of cow's milk contains 12 net carbs - which is way too many to be keto-friendly! Because of this, I recommend unsweetened almond, coconut, or cashew milk. All of these non-dairy milks have around 2 net carbs or less per cup.

    Chocolate milk

    chocolate milk with syrup in the background

    To make chocolate milk, simply stir in 1 to 2 tablespoon of the chocolate syrup into a glass non-dairy milk.

    Then, taste and add more allulose as needed. I typically need to add 1 to 2 more teaspoons.

    Notes

    • For the nutrition information, I did not include the allulose in the carbs since it does not affect blood sugar or kick you out of ketosis. However, if you add the carbs from the allulose, there are 12 carbs and 11 net carbs per serving.
    • For the sweetener, I recommend using allulose or an allulose monk fruit blend. Xylitol will probably work too, but I haven't tested it. I don't recommend using an erythritol-based sweetener because it will cause the sauce to crystallize and be grainy.
    • Keep in mind that allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners. So if you use xylitol or an allulose blend you may need to reduce the sweetener by a few tablespoons.

    • For Paleo, simply reduce the water to ½ cup and replace the sweetener with 6 Tbsp. coconut palm sugar and 6 Tbsp. honey. Taste and add more sweetener as needed.
