• servings: 20 servings
• active time: 2 minutes
• total time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 cup cocoa powder (I used dark cocoa powder)

1 cup unsweetened applesauce (* see notes)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine your coconut oil, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Mix until a glossy liquid chocolate texture remains. Add your unsweetened applesauce. Start with 1 cup and, depending on what texture you are after, increase.

Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to thicken slightly. If you need to use it immediately, add a teaspoon or two of cornstarch, or as needed.
