Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 to 3 tablespoons hot water as needed to thin
Instructions
- Start by gathering your ingredients: almond butter, cacao powder, maple syrup, salt, and hot water. Ensure everything is measured out and ready to go.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, cacao powder, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. The almond butter should be smooth and creamy, making it easy to mix.
- Add a pinch of salt to the mixture. This will enhance the sweetness of the sauce, making it all the more delicious.
- Now, pour in 1 tablespoon of hot water. This will help to loosen everything up and create a silky texture as you mix.
- Using a whisk, stir the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined. You’re looking for a smooth and creamy consistency, with no lumps of cacao powder remaining.
- Taste the sauce: if you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup. If you want it thinner, add more hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Continue whisking until you achieve a lovely silky smooth chocolate sauce. It should be thick enough to cling to a spoon but pourable over your favorite desserts.
- Your Vegan Chocolate Sauce is ready! Serve it immediately over ice cream, fruit, or any treat you desire.
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so you may need to stir in a little more hot water before serving it again.
- Enjoy the luxurious taste and feel great about indulging in this simple yet delicious sauce!
