Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon almond butter creamy
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add cocoa powder, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond butter to a blender. Blend until the consistency is extra smooth, about 30 seconds. You don't want any bits of cocoa or nut butter. 
  • Transfer to a small saucepan. Heat on medium until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat.
  • Sauce will be runny. Transfer to a mason jar. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes. It will begin to thicken as it cools.
  • When ready to use stir well with a spoon, and pour over your favorite ice cream, dip in fruit, or drizzle over your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.

Notes

  • If you like a runnier texture, leave out the almond butter.
  • If you like a thicker texture, add an additional tablespoon of almond butter.
  • Be sure to achieve an extra smooth texture before heating. If you don't have a blender, you can skip this step, and vigorously whisk until smooth.
