Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup of organic unrefined coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of raw unsweetened cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of real maple syrup or raw local honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 pinches of sea salt

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • whisk

Directions
 

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
  2. Once it is liquid, take it off the heat and stir in the cacao powder until there are no lumps.
  3. Stir in the maple syrup or honey, the vanilla, and the sea salt.

Notes

Syrup: serve immediately. Sauce: let cool 10-15 minutes to thicken. Shell: pour over a cold dessert such as ice cream and let harden a few minutes. Fridge chocolate: pour onto a parchment- or silicone-lined plate and freeze 20-30 minutes (it melts near 76 degrees).
