Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue whisking until the mixture begins to heat up and small bubbles form along the edges (do not let it boil).
Add the coconut oil to the saucepan and whisk until it is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Cook the mixture for an additional minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the hot fudge sauce cool for 2-3 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over ice cream, fruit, pancakes, or any dessert of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
