If you are gluten free and dairy free, this dairy free chocolate syrup recipe is just what you need. This thickened mixture has a very similar texture as dairy chocolate syrup. Your desserts will appear as if they do contain dairy. A friend of mine tasted it, and said, “It tastes like Hershey’s Syrup. I’d never know.” Enjoy!
