- 0.5 cup Cocoa Powder
- 8 pieces Medjool Dates, pitted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Drain the dates and place them in a blender or food processor along with 0.5 cup of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Whisk in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated and smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Add the date paste to the saucepan and whisk well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm over your favorite Whole30-compliant dessert or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
