Such an easy way to make an elegant addition to something like roasted pears! Or ice cream. I made it without any sweetener and loved it, but if you want it with a little sweetness, add a couple of teaspoons of honey, to taste.
Chocolate Sauce
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk See recipes for almond milk and chocolate almond milk in the Dessert section of Recipes
- 3 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder Valrhona cocoa powder is my favorite
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Coconut extract
- 1 tbsp Rum extract
- 1 pinch Table salt
Thickening (Optional in my house)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsps Water
Instructions
- In medium saucepan, whisk 1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk, 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tsp coconut extract, 1 tsp rum extract, and pinch of salt over medium-low heat and bring to boil, whisking occasionally. Cook till the desired consistency. This makes a liquid sauce.
- If you like your fudge sauce more, well, fudge-y you can thicken it with a little cornstarch and water mixture, like when you make gravy. In small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk cornstarch slurry into saucepan. Let sauce boil until thickened, whisking constantly, about 1 minute.
Notes
I like a more liquid syrup, so I usually don't thicken it.
