How to Make No Guilt Hot Fudge Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals, 1/4 cup Splenda (or other sugar substitute), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  4. Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or sugar-free alternative), stirring until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  6. Let the sauce cool slightly before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  7. Serving size: 1 tablespoon. Enjoy!
