Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Low-calorie sweetener (granulated or powdered)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, low-calorie sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to remove any clumps.

Step 2

Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk to the saucepan while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk as the mixture begins to heat up.

Step 4

If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry, and slowly pour it into the saucepan while whisking. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 6

Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. If it thickens too much as it cools, stir in a tablespoon of water at a time to loosen it.

Step 7

Serve warm drizzled over desserts, yogurt, pancakes, or as a fruit dip. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
