Fab 'n Fast Paleo Hot Fudge Sauce

A versatile Paleo solution to a sweet tooth ... and Fab 'n Fast too ... use this hot fudge on ice cream, in smoothies, and as a fruit dip. YUM+!

1 cup plant milk (almond, coconut, pecan, etc.)

2 tbsp packed coconut, Lakanto, or date sugar

2 tbsp maple syrup (or more to taste)

2 tbsp cocoa powder (or cacao powder)

6 tbsp well-stirred tahini (or other runny nut butter)

2 oz coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate (1/2 cup [or chips] I like stevia-sweetened Lilly's)

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp fine (or ground) sea salt

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, maple syrup, and cocoa (or cacao) powder. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat and whisk in the tahini, chocolate, vanilla, and salt.

Taste, adding more tahini if a stronger flavor is desired, more maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter, more chocolate if you want it a bit thicker. The chocolate sauce will thicken as it cools.

Let cool slightly, then drizzle over your dessert of choice or use as you'd like. Store refrigerated airtight (I use a pint canning jar) up to several weekss; warm before using.
