This easy Vegan Chocolate Sauce is made in one pot with just 4 ingredients and ready in 5 minutes. It’s rich, smooth, and naturally sweet, perfect for drizzling over ice cream, pancakes, brownies, or fresh fruit for a quick homemade treat.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan. Whisk until everything is well combined and the mixture looks smooth with no cocoa lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking often, until the mixture starts to gently simmer. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom. The sauce should thicken slightly and look glossy and creamy. Use it right away for a warm drizzle, or let it cool before transferring it to a jar for storage.
Notes
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week; it will thicken as it cools.
Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge overnight.
Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring until smooth and pourable.
