Coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup or honey stirred into a quick chocolate sauce that firms on cold ice cream.

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

Directions

  • Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Once it is liquid, take it off the heat and stir in the cacao powder until there are no lumps.
  • 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).
