What would we do without chocolate? Really, I don’t want to know… But, this is literally the best keto chocolate sauce I have ever had (or ANY chocolate sauce, for that matter). Period. And it’s actually good for you (think loads of antioxidants)! It’s also low-FODMAP, Paleo and dairy-free! Made with creamy coconut milk. Oooo-la-la!
So one evening, we were sitting down with a lovely dessert of berries, topped with whipped cream and lemon flake salt. Total decadence, right? Not that that dessert needed anything else, but I was in the mood for something chocolate. So I figured that making a chocolate sauce would be a pretty quick thing to whip up!
Okay, so I did manage to just poke down the juicy berries with sweet, salted whipped cream (don’t feel too sorry for me), but I still needed to follow up with that chocolate inspiration.
I had everything I needed, so I grabbed a small pot and went to it. I guessed at the measurements and tweaked them just tad. Within 10 minutes, the result was a creamy, silky, slightly salty, coconutty (is that a word?) pot of sheer chocolate pleasure. I could just sip it from a cup. I really ended up just standing over the stove dunking the spoon in – over… and over… and over… When you make this, you may end up doing the very same thing (it’s okay!).
So I’m a big, big fan of raw cacao. In recipes that call for powdered unsweetened chocolate, I always use cacao in its place. It’s one of nature’s superfoods. It’s full of antioxidants, flavonoids, iron, trace minerals and is a natural mood elevator. It boosts serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylethylamine – all neurotransmitters that make us feel all warm and fuzzy. Whip up a batch, grab some berries and bliss out with the best keto chocolate sauce ever (okay – my opinion!).

Description
This is literally the best chocolate sauce I have ever had. It’s actually good for you! It’s keto, low-FODMAP, Paleo and dairy-free!
Ingredients
1 can (about 13 ounces) full fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt (Kosher or a good fleur de sel is best)
1/2 cup raw cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
1/2 cup + two tablespoons sweetener (I use 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener and 1/4 cup stevia)*
Add-in options below in the notes
Instructions
Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan, over low heat.
Keep whisking every few seconds while it heats.
Cook just until it starts to boil slighty, then remove from heat.
Try to refrain from consuming the entire pot all by yourself in one sitting.
Notes
*I like to use this blend because the erythritol in this product can cause some digestive upset and it works great with stevia. If you do okay with erythritol or another sweetener, have at it!
The sauce tends to get just a bit thicker as it cools.
Add-in options:
Substitute the vanilla extract for another flavor, such as almond, mint or orange.
Add a pinch of cinnamon (my favorite), masala, curry or black pepper.
Or just go nuts and add a tablespoon of peanut butter. It will be thick, though, so if you want it to stay ‘saucey’, you need to add a little bit more coconut milk. Or don’t, and have yourself the best pudding ever!!! Seriously, try this. It’s insane.

Oh….my….god!!!!! This is THE most delicious chocolate sauce I have ever tasted!. I usually don’t care much for sweet sauces and on top of things because they tend to be different kinds of sweet that don’t go well together. This sauce is simply divine. Easy to make and yummy!

So glad you like it! I feel the same way about it. To. Die. For. Am I right?
