Sugarless Chocolate Syrup is one of those things that can be hard on your tummy when you buy the store bought brands. In this homemade version you don’t have that issue because it doesn’t contain harsh fillers and sweeteners that cause gastro distress. Using simple healthy ingredients it is easily prepared and ready to top your ice cream, oats or anywhere else that you can think to enjoy it.

Chocolate Syrup is one of those things that most households have lurking in the fridge. It makes a quick glass of chocolate milk, tops a dish of vanilla ice cream for a quick treat or can add demension and flair to a cheesecake. This sugarless choclate syrup brings you the convienace without all the added calories.

If my memory serves correctly my kids learned to make chocolate milk with bottled store bought chocolate syrup. When I went sugar free back in the 1990’s I of course switched the sugar laden one with the sugar free, oh what a horrid mistake that was. Tummy aches and bathroom issues were a given anytime we used that syrup. So I began making my own, and low and behold no more tummy aches etc. 

I have tweaked that old family favorite recipe into this Sugarless Chocolate Syrup recipe since I no longer use products containing sucralose on a regular basis.

The Ingredients I Use In Sugarless Chocolate Syrup

Low Carb Brown Sugar

I’ve made this Low Carb Brown Sugar for about as long as I have followed the Trim Healthy Mama Plan. It performs well in baking and has a balanced flavor.

Stevia Sweetener

Personally, I use a lot of Pyure, All Purpose Stevia Sweetener. You can replace it with THM Super Sweet Blend or THM Gentle Sweet. Some people find it to be much sweeter than THM’s Gentle Sweet. I normally use it in equal measure with THM Super Sweet Blend.

Sunflower Lecithin (optional)

Sunflower lecithin is a great emulsifier especially for chocolate. It adds a creaminess to this sauce as well as helps it to not seperate. It binds the fat molecules with the water molecules transforming them into a creamy textured syrup.

Cocoa Powder

Cocoa Powder can make or break a chocolate recipe. Using good quality unsweetened cocoa powder like Ghiradelli really makes a difference.

Water

I use filtered water in all of my recipes. Additives in tap water can cause odd reactions when you are cooking. Using purified or filtered water removes those unknowns and allows for better results.

Salt

My preferred salt is Pink Himalayan which contains trace minerals and has many health benefits

Vanilla Extract

I would love to start making my own Vanilla extract, but for now I buy pure vanilla extract from the grocery store.

Xanthan Gum (optional)

I love my xanthan gum, my husband has issues with gluccie powder which limits the recipes I can use it in. He does not have the same issues with xanthan gum, so I use that more often. But if you  prefer you can use gluccie to thicken this Sugarless Chocolate Syrup.

My Favorite Recipes That Use Sugarless Chocolate Syrup

I love this minty chocolate Irish Cow Custard Shake (Low Carb, THM S)

This Chocolate Cheesecake

And this Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova
