Smooth, rich, and deeply fudgy, this sugar-free chocolate sauce is perfect for drizzling over keto ice cream, glazing low-carb donuts, or using as a chocolate fondue. Quick to make and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup allulose sweetener
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat the Base: In a measuring cup, whisk together the cream and water. Pour into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sweetener and butter.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, whisking often. Do not let it boil.
- Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the chopped chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to melt.

- Serve or Store: Drizzle warm over keto desserts or store for later use.
Notes
- Too Thin? Whisk in 1–2 teaspoons cocoa powder.
- Too Thick? Reheat gently and whisk in a splash of cream.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Sauce will thicken into a fudge-like consistency. Reheat gently to melt.
