This lovely sauce is perfect for drizzling over fruit, baked goods, pancakes or waffles.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup monkfruit (my favorite zero calorie sweetener)
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold water
1.5 tsp. vanilla extract (or peppermint)
DIRECTIONS:
In a cold sauce pan, whisk dry ingredients together. Add water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool, Add vanilla extract after cooling. The sauce will look very thin but thickens as it cools.
