How to make Dairy-free Hot Fudge
Making homemade hot fudge sauce is so easy!
- Start by heating a saucepan to low-medium heat and melt the chocolate and oil together. Once melted go ahead and pour in the full-fat coconut milk and whisk to combine.
- Next you wanted to add the coconut sugar and sifted cocoa powder and continue to whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and use immediately or store in an airtight container for later use. You can reheat it on the stove or in the microwave before use.
Most hot fudge recipes contain either butter, cream or condensed milk as the base of their hot fudge recipe. However, there are a lot of vegan options for hot fudge sauce. Including this awesome recipe!
Store the hot fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to use It you can reheat the whole container or just scoop out how much hot fudge you need and heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
You can pour it over ice cream for some delicious hot fudge sundaes or banana splits. It is great drizzled on some brownies, cookies or even fresh berries.
Eating it by the spoonful is always a good idea too!
Yes! This recipe is easily doubled to serve a large group
Yes, you can substitute any other granulated sugar. I would recommend maple sugar or just regular cane sugar as a substitute for coconut sugar.
