Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measure them precisely to ensure the best flavor and consistency.
- In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Whisk these ingredients together until they are completely smooth and no cocoa powder lumps remain.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add coconut oil to the mixture, continuing to stir until the oil is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken and becomes glossy.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Let the sauce cool for 2-3 minutes, during which time it will continue to thicken slightly.
- Transfer the fudge sauce to a clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
- The sauce can be served warm immediately or refrigerated for up to 7 days. If refrigerated, gently reheat before serving.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor. Look for unsweetened, 100% pure cocoa powder.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure a silky-smooth texture.
- Use low to medium heat to prevent scorching and maintain the sauce's delicate consistency.
- For extra richness, use full-fat coconut milk.
- If the sauce becomes too thick when cooling, simply reheat gently and stir in a little more coconut milk.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy within a week for maximum freshness and flavor.
- For a flavor twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon to the recipe.
