Vegan Chocolate Sauce & Syrup
Description
The Vegan Chocolate Sauce & Syrup combines cocoa powder and vanilla extract with maple syrup and oat milk to form a rich and creamy chocolate topping. Cooking it over low heat until thick ensures a velvety texture that coats desserts or breakfasts nicely. Maple syrup provides natural sweetness and depth, while oat milk contributes to the smooth, dairy-free base.
This sauce can be poured warm over pancakes or ice cream, stirred into beverages, or kept chilled as a spread. Its flexibility means it adapts well to different serving temperatures and uses depending on preference. The recipe is simple and requires minimal ingredients to achieve a satisfying chocolate flavor without dairy.
Leftover sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to a week and freezes easily for longer storage. The oat milk can be homemade or purchased, with a note that blending time affects texture. These details help maintain the sauce's quality and consistency for future enjoyment.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup Note: 6 tablespoon is ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp; for a double batch you'll need ¾ cup.
- 6 tablespoons oat milk See Notes for homemade, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan whisk together the cocoa powder, vanilla, maple syrup, and oat milk.
- Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
- Serve the chocolate sauce warm or at room temperature. It's delicious both ways. We also enjoy it straight from the fridge when it's thick and spreadable.
Notes
- Store leftover chocolate sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- This sauce freezes well and thaws quickly for convenient use later.
- For homemade oat milk, blend rolled oats with cold water briefly to avoid excessive sliminess, then strain through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.
- Shake homemade oat milk before use and refrigerate for no more than three days.
