This paleo chocolate sauce is so easy to make that it takes under 30 seconds!  Cocoa powder, coconut oil sweetened with pure maple syrup.  Such a thin consistency, yet so rich, and decadent in taste.  It's a surefire fondue pleaser and is vegan too.

While I'm usually not a sauce girl I was craving a sweet dessert sauce, that was also healthy, but wouldn't kill my skin, mess with my sugar levels, or cause a sugar-high.  And I wanted it to be something chocolaty.

Also something decadent and rich in flavor.

Chocolate covered strawberries were the answer but I didn't have any chocolate bars.   I had organic strawberries.

You'd think that would end my quest for chocolate but it didn't.  While my mind danced around the idea of chocolate-covered strawberries the decadent chocolate ideas started to flow.  I was dreaming about chocolate fondue, chocolate-dipped popsicles, and chocolate shells.  In that mindset, I realized I had three ingredients that could make chocolate and make it well.

Cocoa powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup.  Pairing the three together in a small bowl and warmed makes an unreal paleo chocolate sauce!  It was simple, and nutrient-dense by using coconut oil.  These ingredients made the chocolate sauce feel velvety and smooth in consistency while tasting full-bodied and rich in flavor.

The secrets of using coconut oil in chocolate making

  • If you freeze it, the chocolate will harden within 15 minutes and stay that way
  • If you leave the chocolate sauce at room temperate in a bowl it will remain a saucy thin consistency as in chocolate fondue
  • If you drizzle it on anything cold that is at room temperature,  it will harden instantly
  • Using coconut oil to make chocolate sauce helps to thin out the sauce

Coconut oil nutrition benefits

  • Antimicrobial properties
  • Anti-bacterial
  • Healthy fatty acid (the good fat)
  • Reduces sugar cravings
  • Increases good cholesterol

Unsweetened cocoa nutrition benefits 

  • Loaded with protein, fiber, and minerals like magnesium, iron, copper, and manganese
  • More antioxidants than blueberries
  • Dark chocolate is often discussed with reducing heart disease

Always dark chocolate!! Here's why:

  • Anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, and calorie healthy
  • This type of chocolate is healthy in small doses unlike its counterparts milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate
  • Less sugar
  • Closest to the original cacao bean form which means more nutrients!
  • It won't hurt your tummy or any digestive disorder
  • You can enjoy more as it has much less sugar without major calories and guilt
  • Good for heart health

Let's talk maple syrup

  • There is pure maple syrup that runs around 15$ per bottle, and then there is the processed, non-natural maple syrup that uses high fructose corn syrup, bad sugars, colorings, and additives.  All of my recipes use pure grade maple syrup.
  • Pure grade maple syrup goes a long way.  It is considered an unrefined sugar which means that while it holds sugar it also holds nutrients and vitamins.
  • Pure maple syrup is processed in the body differently than processed maple syrup

Always choose gluten-free if you have celiac or gluten-related disorders.

If you want to make this recipe candida diet-friendly omit all sugar sources.  It's still delish!
