I consider this recipe more necessary than almost any other. Everyone who knows me knows that even though I’ve lost more than 55 pounds and maintained that loss for close to 20 years, I eat chocolate every day!

This is my favorite way to satisfy my chocolate cravings — an all-natural topper that contains only 45 calories per serving.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings: 12 tablespoons (makes 3/4 cup)
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Method
 

  1. Add the agave and cocoa powder to a medium resealable plastic container (a round one will be easiest to mix in).
  2. Using a sturdy whisk, mix until well combined and no lumps remain from the cocoa powder. Allow it to sit a few hours before using — it will taste fine immediately, but it thickens into a more fudge-like sauce over time.
