Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar substitute until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the heavy cream to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Let the hot fudge sauce cool for a few minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 6

Serve warm over ice cream, cakes, or your favorite sugar-free desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 7

To reheat, warm gently in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.
