Vegan Chocolate Sauce (only 3 ingredients!)

This vegan chocolate sauce uses just three main ingredients: almond butter, cacao powder, and maple syrup, accented by a pinch of salt and water to achieve the right consistency. The sauce blends into a smooth, silky texture ideal for drizzling over ice cream or desserts. The combination of nutty almond butter and rich cacao powder creates a deep chocolate flavor with natural sweetness from maple syrup. It can be stored chilled and thinned with water if needed before serving again.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (I like to use homemade, or the Raw Almond Butter from Trader Joe's)
  • 2 tablespoons cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup , to taste
  • salt pinch
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons water as needed to thin, hot

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, cacao powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of water. Use a whisk to stir well.
  2. Taste the mixture, and if you want it sweeter, add 1 more tablespoon of maple syrup. If you don't need the added sweetness, add 1 tablespoon of water instead. Whisk again, until a silky smooth chocolate sauce is created. Add more water if you need to thin it out any further.
  3. Serve this sauce right away over your favorite ice cream or dessert. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, but it will thicken when chilled, so you might need to thin it out with more water before serving it again.
