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.
