Ingredients

  • 1 cup Coconut milk (full fat)
  • 0.25 cup Coconut oil
  • 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 cup Maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut oil. Heat over medium heat until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to gently simmer. Do not allow it to come to a rolling boil.

Step 4

Once simmering, let the sauce cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over your favorite dairy-free ice cream or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.
