1⁄2 cup organic raw blue agave nectar (dark agave)
3⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp instant espresso powder (optional)
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
Combine water, coconut sugar, agave, cocoa powder, and espresso powder (if using) in a heavy sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Boil for 5 minutes or until sauce starts to thicken.
Whisk in vanilla and let cool for about an hour. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 10 days. Serve warm or cold.
