Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened non dairy milk I like cashew, almond, or coconut best
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder or raw cacoa powder
• 1 cup palm sugar
• 1 tsp espresso powder optional
• 1 TBS arrowroot 1-1 1/2 tsp for a thinner sauce
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch sea salt

Instructions

Mix

• Put all ingredients into a blender and whiz until incorporated.
• Transfer to a 2 quart sauce pan.

Cook

• Turn on medium to medium high heat. Cook and continue stirring as the mixture thickens and comes to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer.
• Let bubble and thicken for 1 - 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a clean, cool bowl.
• Immediately cover with parchment or saran wrap if not serving right away so a skin doesn't form.
• Once cooled to room temp, remove parchment and whisk until smooth.

Store

• Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar for up to 3 weeks. You can reheat before eating if you want the sauce to be warm. But it's delicious cold!
