Description

Make this dairy-free chocolate sauce with cocoa powder, sugar, and water for fat-free drinks or a dip for fresh fruit.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup water

• 1/2 cup white sugar

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1 Combine cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

2 Bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in cocoa mixture slowly until incorporated. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

3 Pour sauce into a storage container and let cool at room temperature, uncovered, until thickened. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
