Description

Turn a simple scoop of Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream or your favorite commercial non-dairy ice cream into a decadent treat with this homemade Chocolate Sauce. Powdered sugar, rich cacao powder, creamy coconut milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt cook together into a smooth, velvety sauce with deep chocolate flavor that’s perfect for drizzling generously over every scoop. 

Finish your sundae with a little Vegan Whipped Cream and a cherry, or have a little fun with shredded coconut, crunchy peanuts, or toasted almonds.

Whether you’re building an elaborate sundae or keeping things deliciously simple, this rich chocolate sauce makes every scoop feel like a special occasion.
