Easy Homemade Hot Fudge

I love hot fudge sundaes! However, they are pretty high in sugar and they have a very high glycemic index. 

So, to make myself feel better when I’m craving one, I’ll use coconut sugar to sweeten the fudge sauce. 

Now, this dessert is certainly still not keto by any means but coconut sugar does have somewhat less of an impact on the glycemic index chart. 

So, that’s enough for me to justify this little splurge. I start with real grass fed butter, about 2-3 tablespoons and a small skillet. 

As that is melting on medium heat, I add in about a third or a half cup of coconut sugar. You can decide how sweet you want it. 

Stirring this mixture constantly, add a pinch of pink Himalayan salt and about two tablespoons of organic cocoa. 

As these ingredients blend together well and the sauce bubbles a bit, you will see that you end up with a wonderful texture and thickness. 

Pour or spoon this hot fudge sauce over 2-3 scoops of whatever flavor ice cream you like. Pictured here is home style vanilla. 

After taking this photo, I sprinkled some chopped walnuts and then I ate it. Yum!!
