How to make Vegan Chocolate Fondue

This Vegan Chocolate Fondue is easy to make here are some notes on how.

Use a Vitamix

To make this recipe, put most of the ingredients in the Vitamix and blend for 1 minute. This will heat up the wet ingredients just in time to add the chocolate and blend for 4 more minutes.

As the mixture continues to heat up, the chocolate will melt and the mixture will become velvety smooth. Once the fonduehas reached a creamy consistency, add a splash of vanilla, pulse and serve.

Making it on the stovetop.

You can also make it on a saucepan on thee stovetp by following these instructions:

1. Combine the ingredients (except for chopped chocolate and vanilla) on the stovetop over medium heat and whisk until combined.
2. Heat until it just begins to boil (bubbles on the sides of the pan), and then add the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
3. Stir in vanilla and serve

Vegan Chocolate Fondue: Substitutions

As always I recommend making the recipe exactly as written for the best results, however here are a few thoughts on potential substitutions.

• Coconut Cream: I do not recommend substituting anything for the coconut cream (especially not low-fat coconut milk). You need fat for creaminess. The only other potential substitution could be a dairy-free half-and-half or heavy whipping cream. You could substitute regular heavy whipping cream.
• Granulated Sugar: You can use any granulated sugar (I have tried raw organic sugar and coconut sugar with great results), maple syrup, or honey (not vegan). The best results are achieved using granulated sugar!
• Chocolate Chips: Use any chopped chocolate or chip variety of your liking. My absolute favorites are Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips

Healthy chocolate options:

• Hu Kitchen Chocolate Gems.This is my favorite paleo chocolate.
• Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Bars. You can also buy dark chocolate bars and chop them up.
• Lily’s Dark Chocolate. They make chips and bars that are stevia sweetened, low carb, keto, etc.
• Enjoy Life Foods Dark Chocolate Chipsare a good option that are vegan & dairy-free.
