Chocolate Raspberry Syrup

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This Chocolate Raspberry Syrup is such a delicious flavor combination and so easy to make! The syrup is sweet, tangy, and so decadent. You can use it in coffee, lattes, cocktails, or drizzle it over pancakes, ice cream, oatmeal, and more! Raspberries and cacao work so well together, you'll want to eat it with a spoon!


  • Total Time15 minutes
  • Yield1 3/4 cups 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add the cane sugar, raspberries, and water to a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, just until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Take the syrup off the heat and strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to get as much of the juice out of the raspberries as you can.
  5. Add sifted cacao powder, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt.
  6. Use a handheld milk frother to mix the cacao powder in.
  7. Transfer to a glass jar or a container and allow to cool before storing in the fridge.

Notes

Storing: Store the syrup in an airtight container or a jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also store it in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for 2-4 months. Avoid an ice cube tray because the syrup never freezes completely solid.

No milk frother: Whisk the cacao, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the syrup using a regular whisk before straining at the end of cooking. You’ll have to do this while the mixture is still very hot to make sure the cacao mixes in properly. I do it with a milk frother after, to avoid straining the cacao out with the raspberry pulp.

The syrup yields about 14 servings when using 2 tbsp per serving.
