Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the carob powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 2
Slowly whisk in the milk to create a smooth mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the water and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined. Stir this mixture into the saucepan.
Step 5
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep the heat medium-low to avoid scorching.
