Raw Chocolate Sauce Recipe
Yield 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil (find organic, unrefined coconut oil here)
- ½ cup cacao powder (find organic, fair trade, raw cacao powder here)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup, or another liquid sweetener (find organic maple syrup here)
- pinch of salt (find unrefined sea salt here)
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until combined and smooth.
- Use immediately or pour into a glass jar and let cool until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Store this chocolate fudge sauce in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. To soften the sauce after refrigerating, place the glass jar in a bowl of warm water.
Notes
You can use cocoa powder in this recipe, but then you lose the "raw" title. Cocoa powder will also absorb less liquid than cacao powder, so you will need to add a little extra cocoa powder if your sauce seems too thin or tastes a bit light. Also, do not use granulated sugar since this recipe doesn't use enough heat to melt it. If you use sugar, you will have gritty chocolate sauce!
