You can make a rich fudgy creamy vegan chocolate sauce with coconut milk and vegan butter. Heat it up with cocoa powder, sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla and you've got a luscious silky fudge sauce.
Mix together the sugar and cocoa so that it is well blended and all of the lumps are out.
Add the sugar/cocoa mixture to a medium-sized saucepan along with the coconut milk, Karo syrup, and melted butter. Wisk together till all the cocoa powder is mixed in.
Turn on the stove-top to med/high and bring to a gentle boil, stirring the entire time. This will take about five minutes.
Turn the heat down to med/low and continue cooking and stirring for another 5 minutes. It should not boil again or the chocolate sauce might have a slightly burned taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. The chocolate sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. Pour on top of ice cream or use it as a dip!
This recipe will yield about 4 cups. Store in a closed quart jar in the refrigerator for two weeks. If you want to warm up to serve later, portion out the desired amount and heat in a microwavable container for 30 seconds.
