Vegan Hot Fudge

By Chef Linda

If you've ever looked for hot fudge in the grocery store, you might be surprised to find out how many unnecessary ingredients seem to be included. Aside from the dairy, which for vegans, is completely unnecessary, there are things like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, disodium phosphate, and mono and di-glycerides. Really? What are these things anyway?

Homemade may take a little more effort, but I sure feel a lot better about eating what I make than what I buy most of the time. Hot fudge is the perfect example. It takes just a few minutes, but the result is better tasting, healthier and more compassionate than anything I can find in the store. Plus, I get to lick the bowl. What's better than that?!

Ingredients

 ¾ cup non-dairy chocolate chips
 ½ cup coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk
 ¼ cup cocoa powder
 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1

Place all the ingredients except vanilla in a small bowl placed over a small pot of simmering water. As the chocolate chips melt, stir ingredients together. When the chips are almost completely melted, turn off the heat and remove the bowl from over the pot. Add vanilla and stir till smooth. Serve on non-dairy ice cream, brownies, or used sliced fruit for dipping.
