This recipe is a secret weapon, essential for a healthy version of chocolate sauce, able to be used for a dessert topping or ganache. If you do not have the three ingredients on hand required for this recipe, see if you have the two ingredients necessary for my 2-Ingredient Chocolate Sauce found here.

I prefer choosing quality ingredients since only three ingredients are required. Below are some tips.

Tips:

  • Cacao powder is less processed than cacoa powder.
  • Unrefined coconut oil is less processed than refined.  

Note: Once chocolate sauce is added to ice cream, a firm shell forms similar to conventional hard topping or magic shell products. Measure coconut oil once melted, then add any leftover back into coconut container after oil cools.
