Notes
The stevia can be replaced with another sweetener with about half teaspoon of vanilla extract.
You can thicken up the syrup by adding in a little xanthan gum or guar gum. However, cooking the mixture with some melted chocolate will thicken it without having to add any low-carb thickener.
Some unsweetened cocoa powders have less carbs than others. Be sure to check the labels before buying to make sure you choose one with the lowest carb count.
A whisk helps blend the cocoa powder into the liquid best.
Great as a chocolate sauce to top ice cream or syrup for keto chocolate milk.
